Chances are though this is some stunt from which someone stands to gain.
actually, bro, i believe there is a recently passed UN mandate which would make this little Sioux Coup legal.

Time will tell where it all goes, but if it takes off you might see Americans hopping over to "Injun Territory" for tax-free fun, like 1920's Havanna
