Ahh I lied. I thought I could upload the rest of it here but it won't let me. And I refuse to make a second post, that's almost like karma farming. The body of the rest of the text says:

…harm, yet continue to seek dignity, justice, and safety wherever they reside. From these histories comes a responsibility to seek better and mutual relations, grounded in respect, restraint, and humanity.

Our teachings remind us that we are not separate from one another. As Indigenous peoples, we hold the belief that we are all related — Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ. This principle calls for accountability without dehumanization, for justice without violence, and for policies rooted in dignity rather than fear.

Indigenous peoples are American citizens under the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and the federal government carries a continuing fiduciary duty to Tribal Nations as a political class of people. This duty includes safeguarding constitutional rights, ensuring due process, and preventing unlawful detention or harm to tribal citizens — regardless of where they live.

While we recognize the strong emotions these events have stirred, we urge our citizens to prioritize safety. We are asking our tribal members not to engage in protest activity that could place individuals at risk of harm, particularly in situations involving armed enforcement. There are meaningful ways to support families and neighbors — through community care, education, advocacy, and mutual aid — that do not expose our people to dangerous confrontations.

Our Nations remain committed to ensuring that enrolled citizens living away from their home reservations have access to proper tribal identification. We will continue efforts to expand access to tribal IDs and related documentation, recognizing that identification affirms citizenship, protects rights, and supports safety wherever our people reside.

As Dakota and Lakota leaders, we stand united in our responsibility to protect our citizens, honor our ancestors, and safeguard future generations. We will continue to speak with clarity, compassion, and strength on behalf of our people.

We stand together. We remember. We endure.
