WASHINGTON (AFP) -- The Lakota Indians, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States, leaders said Wednesday.
"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference.

A Lakota-Sioux male has a life expectancy of 44 years -- the lowest in the world.
They consider secession "a matter of survival," as every treaty ever made with the tribes has been broken by the American government.
The Lakota-Sioux say that all are welcome to live on the land, so long as s/he renounces American citizenship.
This could get interesting.
KUDOS to the Lakota-Sioux!
