[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1383341, member: 25776"] John, Anything is possible. Standing Rock has made the news many times for protests and unrest. Do you remember Russell Means? Played in the movie "The Last of the Mohicans". He was leader of a major protest at Standing Rock. [b]During the 1973-74 Wounded Knee II standoff with the US government American Indian Movement (A.I.M.) activists and traditional Oglala Lakota Oyate kin declared that the hamlet of Wounded Knee was the Independent Oglala Nation (ION). The late American Indian Movement leader Russell Means sought recognition from the United Nations but was initially unsuccessful. Later, in 1977 at Standing Rock, Means and the traditional leaders of the Hunkpapa Lakota Oyate kin delivered the “Declaration of Continuing Independence.” The phrase continuing independence is key. Indigenous peoples did not seek integration with the United States. Indigenous nations were coerced through military force and legislative fiat to accept integration with the United States, but not without a fight.
