"A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old."

..."The new country would issue its own passports and driving licences, and living there would be tax-free -- provided residents renounce their US citizenship, Means said."

"Withdrawing from the treaties was entirely legal, Means said."
""This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically article six of the constitution," which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land, he said.
"It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the US and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent," said Means."
