South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem ® on Tuesday was banned from setting foot on the lands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, after its council took issue with some of her recent remarks suggesting that tribal leaders are benefiting from the presence of Mexican drug cartels.

Noem has also drawn the ire of tribal leaders by deeming Native American parents responsible for the poor academic performance of children in local areas.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council called banishment a “rare but serious form of punishment.”
