15. Noem needs to refresh her knowledge of history

and what offshore diseases did to indigenous people when first contact was made.

Tribal land is sovereign land. A tribe here got away with blocking a state road going through their land some years ago because of that. The roadblocks were short lived, but they got some better faith negotiations going.

Noem needs to work with them to streamline whatever testing they're doing so the roads aren't blocked back to Kansas instead of thinking she can issue proclamations from on high. Won't work.
