All nine indigenous tribes in South Dakota have now banned Gov. Kristi Noem from entering their land in response to the Republicans offensive claims about the roughly 70,000 Native people who live in her state.

The Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, the ninth and final tribe to take such action, announced its decision Tuesday, after its executive board held an emergency meeting about the matter over the weekend and then met with Noems office Monday.

Until Noem issues an apology, the people of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe stand with our fellow nations, the tribes statement said.

This ban means Noem, whos been floated as a presidential running mate for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump , is now banned from 20% of her states land.

At Mondays meeting between Noem and tribe leadership, the announcement continued, tribe president Tony Reider informed the governor that a ban from our territories is imminent and requested that the Governor refrain from making future blanket statements that offend the tribes within the boundaries of the State of South Dakota, some of which depend on state services for the needs of their people.
