Wow, and on the winter solstice no less. Lakota Nation Territory on Google Maps
Yes, about time..
They own it all anyway...
Umm whos courts are they going to file the leins in again? Sore losers they should stick to cigarettes, casinos and alchohol, you know the way earth mother would have wanted it.
They aren't going to get far if they continue to hook up with Venezuela!
thanks for the map marlin. it does put things in perspective. strange enough, no major newspaper has carried the news yet (except usa today), and even stranger, i first saw the news in a turkish news service. however, i decided to run it through the lakota press release.
with so many special interest groups around, i really don't know what to make out of it.
wow clamfan, is this a competition to see who can post the most racist/ignorant thing that comes to mind? if so you've set the bar pretty high.
i'm sure if you asked either the Arikara, Mandan and Hidatsa peoples they would tell ya that the lakota were quite the expansionists in their day. for example, they invaded the Arikara after those peoople were devastated by small pox in the 18th century.
