  Having lived in the Dakotas, the first thing you will hear from a republican who live there is that "they want to be a different nation, they can deal with their own damn problems."  There is little to no support for the reservations from the surrounding states.
context: while Noem was burning the boxes, media reports surfaced that thousands of American Indians on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations were trapped without heat during a fierce winter storm. Pine Ridge citizens had to burn clothes after propane deliveries stopped and there was no firewood.
