Lakota Nation secedes from the US!

The Raw Story | Descendants of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse break away from US

Awesome! You can live there tax-free if you renounce your US citizenship. I'm seriously tempted. I hope other tribes do the same thing, and Hispanic people follow suit. Congress has let Bush destroy the US anyway. Maybe it's time to give the land back to the original owners.

Morgaine,

I would have suppported the Lakota withdrawl unilaterally had they went to the other Native American Nations and consulted them in effort to build a unified Indian Nation.
The article did not mention any such attempt, but rather the Lakota delivered the message to the US, then sought out Bolivia, Venzuela and other National governments to build support of this move.
The they embolden themselves by offering a Tax free residency in thier lands(extended to everyone). That in of itself negates the Idea of Lakota Lands independent of US Jurisdiction- in essence Mr. Means, and by extension the Lakota are trying to replicate a revamped version of the United States. If So, why secede then?
Im sure the honorable intention is there but it is ill concieved. With out the backing of the other Nations, and by this I mean Native American Nations, the measure will fall flat on its face. The US government will have to do absolutely nothing to make it go away. The Lakota have done it already.
