I believe that the decision to revoke the charter of incorporation of the Lower Sioux Indian Community should be respected. It is important to honor the wishes of the community members and allow them to govern themselves as they see fit. This bill seems to be a step in the right direction towards self-determination for the Lower Sioux Indian Community. It is crucial for us to support indigenous communities in their efforts to assert their sovereignty and autonomy. I hope that this bill will be passed and that the Lower Sioux Indian Community will be able to move forward with their self-governance.
