Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has been unbanned from one tribe in South Dakota after every tribe in the state banned her last year. 

Days before her confirmation hearing to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe announced it was lifting its order to ban Noem. She was previously banned from all of the state’s nine tribes after publicly claiming that tribal leaders were working with drug cartels.
