I am not sure how far this movement will go for the Lakota people, and I am not quite sure how I feel about land borders changing. Here is a link to a press release:

Supposing that this does happen for the Lakota nation- I wonder what happens to the people who have been living on land for decades- even centuries- but who don't want to renounce US Citizenship. Do they get to stay but pay taxes to Lakota? Do they have to move?
It is interesting considering that this must be how the Native Americans must have felt when their land was being taken away. Let me know what you think about this!
