Seceding From the States?

Question by jpc8015: Seceding from the States?
Did anybody hear about the Lakota Indian Tribe wanting to disolve their treaties with the federal government and set up their own country? Is this a good idea for them?

At some point would we need to go and forcibly take their land back from them in order to save them from themselves? What would the consequences be, could we then take away their status as a soveirgn nation and not give them treaties?

The two also say government has up to now failed to enact a drug master plan forwarded to it by private drug rehabilitation centers in 2008, a thing which they add is to blame for the rise in drug trafficking in the country.
