In December of 2007, a group of Lakota people declared that they were withdrawing from the United States and forming their own country. USA Today reported in the declaration from Washington D.C. and a spur of international media attention followed. I hoped in a 4x4 and drove to the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota with Shon Meckfessel and spent four days in the United States’ second poorest county covering the story. I wrote a piece for New Internationalist magazine in the UK. You can read it here.
