Lakota Start Independent State
Dec 20th, 2007 by Jack Lhasa
Remember the date: December 19, 2007. The formal founding of the nation of Lakotah.
This is one for the history books.
The Lakota Tribe of Native Americans has withdrawn all treaties with the United States. These treaties go back for around 150 years. They have declared their land as an independent country, setting up a passport system, driver’s license system, and foreign embassies. Citizen’s will not have to pay any taxes, as long as they renounce their US citizenship.
This is a HUGE event. I can’t point that out enough. The information I’ve been able to find hasn’t had much detail, but there are so many things I want to know.
What is the immigration policy? How are basic services(i.e. water, power, etc..) provided? What laws will make this different from the United States?
This is extremely fascinating to me, and you can bet I’ll be posting more info on it as it becomes available. For now, check out some of these links:
Further information will be posted as I learn more and as more is in the news. If anyone has information on this, I would love to hear it. Comment or Email me at lhasa.jack(at)gmail.com.

The world just got a lot more interesting.
