Sounds like this leader is handling it very well with his people. This should not ever lead to anything ridiculous. They have every right to take these precations and it is great they take the initiative...
It seems some of our presidents don't understand that word. SOVEREIGNTY. "the authority of a state to govern itself or another state" Now that ignorance has trickled down to the state level.
I disagree with the tribes. It takes an open mind and fair understanding of both sides. The highways are created and funded by the State and Federal government. The drivers are simply passing through. If the drivers leave the highway and enter your reservation communities, then they should be checked. Stopping travelers is impeding on the rights of American citizens. Question forms wil not stop an infected person anyway, waste of time. If you are not testing drivers, you have no clue who has the virus. Furthermore, if someone does have the virus, you Tribal Police risk spreading the virus to your reservations by stopping American citizens on government freeways.☝🏾
They have every right to protect their people. They dont have the hospital and clinics that are available in bigger cities. I also think though I am not sure, that they are a solviern nation. I think therefor they may very well have the right to turn away the traffic. I stand with them.... to many of the Native American people have been lost to COVID 19. They have been hit very hard with this virus.
Respect/Walk , Native American archeological remains go back 13,500 years ... By comparison , you whites have been there a minute . !! They're treated like💩and you racist assholes should be ashamed !! Were you aware of their longevity? Do you even know what the word means?
It is amazing that Indians in this country still have their land in trust of the government. People want black rights, women right, right to any religion but to this day still mistreat the native American Indian. There are many places they don't even have running water.
They don't have running water, or electricity. I worked on a reservation and it was like being in a third world country. Getting electricity would cost 2,800 to 5,000 to run lines to the home. Poor people don't have that kind of money. Then the monthly electric bill would be higher because of rural service.
Hasent the government done enough to the Indian nation? Resolve this, listen to them, compromise equip them, help them.they have a right to live free of fear.
True, though being a sovereign nation comes with the responsibility to keep up your own infrastructure. Besides, the US can't even keep it's own cities in clean drinking water, so that's not the best argument.
@@shaunsimmons204 how is it their responsibility when they were forced onto those god awful reservations? the tribes don't wanna be there. the reservations are barren and shitty by design.
The reserves in Canada have set up check points as well, if you don't live there u have no reason to be there, they aren't provided with clean running water let alone potable water nor the Healthcare systems to take care of themselves bc we all know the states, provinces or federal government has not provided anything promised to the native communities. Not a single treaty has been fulfilled by government - ever
How is it illegal if it is on their land? Does she not realize how high the level of infection is or does she just not care? Sadly, o have to bank on the latter. They have every right to make sure their people are safe. This is like someone coming into your house. Damn right I'd check temps,make them wash their hands and turn their butts around if they're sick. I stand with my native brothers and sisters.
Cotina Spann you’re right! By the same logic, I shouldn’t have to pay for your house. And we shouldn’t have to subsidize their house either. They should be treated just like everyone else. Let them build their own highways! I’m glad to hear capitalist ideas on a socialist channel.
@@ozzvilla9226 they probably could build they're OWN highways, but the racist need to cut thru their land while spending their tax dollars. Racism and dumbass always co-exist
@@ozzvilla9226 Hoping you apply this same thought process to how this government treats corporations in this country. Obviously, you purposely misconstrued my statement. The money that is set aside and the land that the tribes live on is the absolute least our government can do considering how they've been treated.
Chairman Frazier is a true leader. Australian Aboriginal communities have state supported protections to stop the spread of Covid-19 to their communities. It’s effective best practice and common sense. Best wishes and support from Australia.
Thank you DN for continuing to cover this situation on Lakota Sioux lands in SD. My ancestor, Running Antelope was one of the signers of the Ft Laramie Treaty of 1868 and I'm enrolled in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Sioux (Oceti Sakowin) homelands were originally 3 times the size and included all of North and South Dakota, parts of Wyoming, Nebraska and Montana. The amount of lands where Lakota people live by treaty rights have shrunk due to the discovery of gold in the Black Hills in the late 1800's and the original lands have been reduced to the reservations because of the railroads and continued expansion of the U.S. The reservations today are some of the poorest places in the U.S. Low employment and underfunding of the IHS -Indian Health Service mean that they can't handle a high number of potential Covid-19 patients. Gov Noem chose not to lockdown SD and there have been several outbreaks in the general population. This is an ongoing issue with Gov. Noem who has repeatedly tried to enact legislation against the Lakota Sioux in people in SD to infringe on their 1st Amendment rights to gather and protest the KXL oil pipelines she wants to build across reservation lands. The ACLU has repeatedly had to act on behalf of the tribes to guarantee their Constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. Instead of taking care if the rest if the population in South Dakota, she is focusing her time and energy into her battle with their tribes who are attempting to care for their own communities. Imo, Noem has a vendetta against the tribes and people who stand in the way of her agenda. She's willing to sacrifice the lives of people on the reservations who are U.S. citizens in order to further her agenda to trample Treaty rights, the rights of Native American citizens and line her pockets with oil corporation money despite the fact that other SD legislators have informed Noem that she has no legal ground to enforce her demands on tribal land.
@Freda Childress You're the fool if you think I'm a trump supporter after I just said the planet belongs to all of us. What trump supporter have you ever heard say that?
Native Americans are the true owners of this land they have the right to protect themselves... As for the governor get lost 😠😡.... Better yet governor go hold the STOP sign.
Tha Mechanic many thanks, but we don’t own the land, the land owns us. Who can own the earth? That is what the white man could never understand. However Rez land is all many tribes have left to live on as a people and the government said it belongs to them yet the government still pretty much controlled it in many ways. The Reservation system is very corrupt.
what? Native Americans were not always here. The victor goes the spoils. That's how it always has been. The Indians lost too times to really have much of a say.
@@dewayneearley7298 Of course I did, and I said the same thing about the checkpoints in Rhode Island. And I say the same thing about the checkpoints at our borders, or any international border. ALL humans have the right to travel freely. Open borders now and forever!!

I haven't left my home much these past months, but I will travel to SD to stand in protest! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Governor keep your hands off, have you no self-respect, SHAME ON YOU !!!!!
How in the world can you set up DUI check points and ICE checkpoints and then call these check points illegal? The constitution gives us all the right to life. We have the right to protect that life
We been here for Millions of years maybe eons These lands our my lands these lands are your lands from west to east and all in between Its just like when they said here some blankets with small pox
You are right for doing your check points, this virus took us by surprise; I worry so deeply for my Dine nation(Navajo) struggling thur this monster, keep your people safe 💗
@Respect/Walk there are treaties that give them that land 'in perpetuity', which means FOREVER!! Your argument is nonsense, but keep saying it - it makes you look extremely ignorant, & people laugh at you for it!
Gov. Allows armed protesters on Bundy ranch because they didn't want to pay taxes but native Americans want to protect their people from a pandemic and.....
If Chairman Frazier is doing this I am certain that it must be necessary and that he talked about this at length with the entire community first. I was invited to Lakota country near Eagle Butte SD last summer to help organize against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). I Though they are an amazing and very resilient community, people are very vulnerable and isolated out there. Many are in poor health, most are quite poor and their healthcare resources are limited. Thus one infected person could wreak havoc on their whole community. Worse, they know from experience that they can't count on outside help if that happens. Blessings to all Lakota people
I'm pretty sure that Native land has some control of their own land. I know Navajo land in AZ has its own law enforcement and a lot of other controls. Besides, doesn't the state want to spend less money controlling the virus?
They are letting traffic through. They are just tracking people who actually are going into their land and keeping a eye on those coming from hot spots. They are Sovereign and this is their right. The Governor is trying the smallpox blanket move and is criminal.
They have a right to value human life more than the state and federal governments do.

It is their right and they are right.
No one has the right to impede on the free travel of humans.
Thanks Democracy Now for channeling the voice of Native Americans.

There was a legal agreement or contract signed following the Spanish American War. They kept their land and property and other legal rights on this side of the line. Story was on TH, but my memory is vague.
I will NEVER vote Republican. The Sioux generally vote Democrat so she probably is pi**ed about that.
Before California was colonized, it (and still does) belong to over 100 different tribes that still live here Today. Mexican is a nationality, not a race. Careful not to conflate that two. A white man can be Mexican, just like a Brown man can be as American as they come.
That is exactly what those caucasians want u to do- loose ur identity nd become their property. Once u loose ur own identity u becomes the property of whoever's identity u have now become. In this case u become the english man's property.bu speak his language nd possess his names
i have the right to deny entry to an infected person into my home. stand your ground, defend ur borders as seen fit
Every Lakota tribe should put tolls on all public roads the money would help the people ALL OUR RELATIVES
Great idea! That they haven't shows how decent they are.
@Dog Biscuit Undoubtedly it was built for the benefit of white people and it was probably forced on them., since it goes through their land, not to their land. The issue at hand is that people who use it in these days can adversely effect them. They didn't take these measures until covid became a danger. The governor is having a fascist, ethnocentric hissy fit.
@Dog Biscuit GOOD, then they can go the long way around. Either way it's a win. LOL!
Then they can eat the money.
Amen from a white woman in Spokane.
That is their land and she has zero rights there.
States, counties, and cities have check points for all kinds of reasons, why can't natives?

Indians = Racist Bigots with Racist Towns
It sounds too much like real sovereignty
Denis Shillingford yep ! Bingo !
@@54321Truth they have every right. Just look at what happen to them at the hands of the White man. Took and took and took from The Indians till there was hardly anything left. They have every right to stand up to protect themselves. The white only brought sickness and death and if they could they would have taken that too.
Sounds like this leader is handling it very well with his people. This should not ever lead to anything ridiculous. They have every right to take these precations and it is great they take the initiative...
I STAND WITH THE FIRST NATIONS SOVEREIGNTY
The Ogalala people are smart! I wish my town had check points! Stand strong, friends!
This is on Indian land so the Governor is wrong they have sovereignty! The Navaho nation has been severely impacted by Covid 19.
All land is Native land. Whites are occupants and imposing their rules.
It seems some of our presidents don't understand that word. SOVEREIGNTY. "the authority of a state to govern itself or another state"
Now that ignorance has trickled down to the state level.
@@alconcerto We won. Get over it.
@Mitch Holder We also have the highest IQ second only to East Asians. Sadly dumb people have more kids usually.
@@JaysMissingKidney you are sick in the head from the way you are expressing yourself.
I'M WITH YOU!!! the governor needs to back the hell off. She has no right!!!! STAY THE COURSE GUYS PROTECT YOUR PEOPLE!!!
I stand with the Cheyenne river Sioux! ✊🏾👏🏾👍🏾❤
Respect/walk, your name here is a total fucking joke with a comment like yours, but your probably to stupid to see the irony, poor you.
I disagree with the tribes. It takes an open mind and fair understanding of both sides.
The highways are created and funded by the State and Federal government.
The drivers are simply passing through. If the drivers leave the highway and enter your reservation communities, then they should be checked.
Stopping travelers is impeding on the rights of American citizens. Question forms wil not stop an infected person anyway, waste of time. If you are not testing drivers, you have no clue who has the virus. Furthermore, if someone does have the virus, you Tribal Police risk spreading the virus to your reservations by stopping American citizens on government freeways.☝🏾
Look at all these anti-freedom individuals supporting governments violating the right of humans to travel freely! Makes me sick.
They have every right to protect their people. They dont have the hospital and clinics that are available in bigger cities. I also think though I am not sure, that they are a solviern nation. I think therefor they may very well have the right to turn away the traffic. I stand with them.... to many of the Native American people have been lost to COVID 19. They have been hit very hard with this virus.
Respect/Walk , Native American archeological remains go back 13,500 years ... By comparison , you whites have been there a minute . !! They're treated like💩and you racist assholes should be ashamed !! Were you aware of their longevity? Do you even know what the word means?
Yes! They are letting you know that there will be no "Thanksgiving" pt. 2.
I'm with them in spirit..
It is amazing that Indians in this country still have their land in trust of the government. People want black rights, women right, right to any religion but to this day still mistreat the native American Indian. There are many places they don't even have running water.
They don't have running water, or electricity. I worked on a reservation and it was like being in a third world country. Getting electricity would cost 2,800 to 5,000 to run lines to the home. Poor people don't have that kind of money. Then the monthly electric bill would be higher because of rural service.
Hasent the government done enough to the Indian nation? Resolve this, listen to them, compromise equip them, help them.they have a right to live free of fear.
The Natives have the rights to do whatever on their reservations, no peace pipe.
Yep, it's their land, us law is hands off. If they want our help, all they have to do is ask.
Tell them you'll open when every person on the Rez has access to potable water in their homes...
True, though being a sovereign nation comes with the responsibility to keep up your own infrastructure. Besides, the US can't even keep it's own cities in clean drinking water, so that's not the best argument.
Better to just keep to the point that it's their land, their laws, and the state can't force them to not be this stringent.
Or when they PAY for the STOLEN LAnd back in 2016 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND the FASCIST OCCUPATION ~~~~~~~~
@@shaunsimmons204 how is it their responsibility when they were forced onto those god awful reservations? the tribes don't wanna be there. the reservations are barren and shitty by design.
And electricy and sanitation and HEALTHCARE.
40 years ago the feds would have just sent the national guard and fbi to shoot up the place. Not so long ago especially for memory’s
Do not forget 'Wounded Knee'. Never again. Don't forget what was done to the Dakota's. The Lakota Nation, for one. This must stop.
The reserves in Canada have set up check points as well, if you don't live there u have no reason to be there, they aren't provided with clean running water let alone potable water nor the Healthcare systems to take care of themselves bc we all know the states, provinces or federal government has not provided anything promised to the native communities. Not a single treaty has been fulfilled by government - ever
@Mitch Holder well said. If government had provided what they promised and we all worked together Canada would b a way better place
The enlightened strength of American Indians is a valuable necessity for Americas survival. TY.
How is it illegal if it is on their land? Does she not realize how high the level of infection is or does she just not care? Sadly, o have to bank on the latter.
They have every right to make sure their people are safe. This is like someone coming into your house. Damn right I'd check temps,make them wash their hands and turn their butts around if they're sick.
I stand with my native brothers and sisters.
Cotina Spann you’re right! By the same logic, I shouldn’t have to pay for your house. And we shouldn’t have to subsidize their house either. They should be treated just like everyone else. Let them build their own highways! I’m glad to hear capitalist ideas on a socialist channel.
They are doing what they need for the people. I wish the Navajo had done this..they are losing their elders that carry their language. So sad.
@@ozzvilla9226 they probably could build they're OWN highways, but the racist need to cut thru their land while spending their tax dollars. Racism and dumbass always co-exist
@Amy Callis She doeant want U.N. Court
@@ozzvilla9226 Hoping you apply this same thought process to how this government treats corporations in this country.
Obviously, you purposely misconstrued my statement. The money that is set aside and the land that the tribes live on is the absolute least our government can do considering how they've been treated.
Stand your ground, the government has no business telling you what to do
“All we have is each other.”
I’ll take Rational thinking,
over common sense,
every time👍
Thanks Brother🇺🇸.
Chairman Frazier is a true leader. Australian Aboriginal communities have state supported protections to stop the spread of Covid-19 to their communities. It’s effective best practice and common sense. Best wishes and support from Australia.
Thank you DN for continuing to cover this situation on Lakota Sioux lands in SD. My ancestor, Running Antelope was one of the signers of the Ft Laramie Treaty of 1868 and I'm enrolled in the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The Sioux (Oceti Sakowin) homelands were originally 3 times the size and included all of North and South Dakota, parts of Wyoming, Nebraska and Montana. The amount of lands where Lakota people live by treaty rights have shrunk due to the discovery of gold in the Black Hills in the late 1800's and the original lands have been reduced to the reservations because of the railroads and continued expansion of the U.S. The reservations today are some of the poorest places in the U.S. Low employment and underfunding of the IHS -Indian Health Service mean that they can't handle a high number of potential Covid-19 patients. Gov Noem chose not to lockdown SD and there have been several outbreaks in the general population. This is an ongoing issue with Gov. Noem who has repeatedly tried to enact legislation against the Lakota Sioux in people in SD to infringe on their 1st Amendment rights to gather and protest the KXL oil pipelines she wants to build across reservation lands. The ACLU has repeatedly had to act on behalf of the tribes to guarantee their Constitutional rights as U.S. citizens. Instead of taking care if the rest if the population in South Dakota, she is focusing her time and energy into her battle with their tribes who are attempting to care for their own communities. Imo, Noem has a vendetta against the tribes and people who stand in the way of her agenda. She's willing to sacrifice the lives of people on the reservations who are U.S. citizens in order to further her agenda to trample Treaty rights, the rights of Native American citizens and line her pockets with oil corporation money despite the fact that other SD legislators have informed Noem that she has no legal ground to enforce her demands on tribal land.
A pox on Noem.
Not doing it with blankets this time...at least they remember their history and are protecting themselves this time. Keep on...
Beautiful way of keeping the virus out. Well done.
Violating people's rights is not beautiful!
@Diane Catts The planet belongs to all of us and we have the right to travel across it!
@Freda Childress You're the fool if you think I'm a trump supporter after I just said the planet belongs to all of us. What trump supporter have you ever heard say that?
God Bless you honorable people. Those Repugs are Demons!!
Native Americans are the true owners of this land they have the right to protect themselves... As for the governor get lost 😠😡.... Better yet governor go hold the STOP sign.
Tha Mechanic many thanks, but we don’t own the land, the land owns us. Who can own the earth? That is what the white man could never understand. However Rez land is all many tribes have left to live on as a people and the government said it belongs to them yet the government still pretty much controlled it in many ways. The Reservation system is very corrupt.
what? Native Americans were not always here. The victor goes the spoils. That's how it always has been. The Indians lost too times to really have much of a say.
Protecting yourself doesn't mean violating the right of others to travel freely!
@@fatrapperinyou did you say the same thing about Florida stopping travlers to ensure the health of the citizens in Florida? If not then shut up.
@@dewayneearley7298 Of course I did, and I said the same thing about the checkpoints in Rhode Island. And I say the same thing about the checkpoints at our borders, or any international border. ALL humans have the right to travel freely. Open borders now and forever!!
So happy to see this tribe band together to stop this pandemic from entering their homes and businesses.
Keep up the good work Sir 👍
"When times get tough, all we have is each other." Should become a catchphrase for the planet!
They have everyright to PROTECT there people why is it that we can do this at the mexican border but the sioux cant do it on there land

How in the world can you set up DUI check points and ICE checkpoints and then call these check points illegal? The constitution gives us all the right to life. We have the right to protect that life
We been here for Millions of years maybe eons
These lands our my lands these lands are your lands from west to east and all in between
Its just like when they said here some blankets with small pox
Didn’t States put up check points to keep people from other states out just 2 months ago?
The State should stand down for a change.

Yes he did but his people were there before the English were in England
@Respect/Walk there is a treaty, same as when we burnt down your White house we have it back😂
@Respect/Walk there are treaties that give them that land 'in perpetuity', which means FOREVER!! Your argument is nonsense, but keep saying it - it makes you look extremely ignorant, & people laugh at you for it!
I think the only people with rights in the USA at this point is Trump and co.
Your comment, has far too many, commas.

@@Dollface829 nope, I don't feel you advocate for all people.
If Chairman Frazier is doing this I am certain that it must be necessary and that he talked about this at length with the entire community first. I was invited to Lakota country near Eagle Butte SD last summer to help organize against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). I Though they are an amazing and very resilient community, people are very vulnerable and isolated out there. Many are in poor health, most are quite poor and their healthcare resources are limited. Thus one infected person could wreak havoc on their whole community. Worse, they know from experience that they can't count on outside help if that happens.
Blessings to all Lakota people
☠️ *Does the SD Governor understand the term SOVEREIGN* ❓☠️
Probably too stupid.
Shows you how those people should vote, vote that governor out.
What's wrong with being safe?
What a distinguished man. Stand your ground.
I'm pretty sure that Native land has some control of their own land. I know Navajo land in AZ has its own law enforcement and a lot of other controls. Besides, doesn't the state want to spend less money controlling the virus?
There must be some monetary reason the Governor wants their Land open, whatever it is it's sickening.
Probably oil and gas leases on tribal land or leases that are very close. Regardless SOLIDARITY FOREVER
@@smuuthbrane7029 If it were some other state, and not a GOP governor I'd take that into consideration. But...
They are letting traffic through. They are just tracking people who actually are going into their land and keeping a eye on those coming from hot spots. They are Sovereign and this is their right. The Governor is trying the smallpox blanket move and is criminal.
I stand with you ✊
Good for them!!!
We have a REPUBLIC NOT A DEMOCRACY
Since the tribals are a sovereign foreign nation it should be legal to enagage them.
I agree with the Sioux. The roads belong to them and their people are vulnerable.
The governor should be supporting them not harassing them!
Well said!
