I doubt that this will make much difference in the short term. The government will ignore them, leaving them with little recourse but to block roads going through their reserves.
Most countries ignore UN laws if they don't like them. The UN will have little impact.
Are there any major highways going through the Lakota reserves? Are there any reserves on the US/Canada border?

indian reserves
Allen..Down here the reserves are spotted all over..I have one 20 mintes north of where I live...no problems though..they run the casino and are the boss man!!..
No chance anytime soon that they are going to block any roads...
Down toward the east near Cornwall their are large reserves that straddle the US/Cda border..there is no way in hell anyone can police such a border..besides...they run the casino's, cigarette business and its a major smuggling route for contrabands...the DOHS in the USA can't do dick about it...its just to large an area to cover..besides..its their land..treaty rights give them free movement...
Some of the hot heads tried shutting down the 401 highway and rail lines last summer but it didn't last...
They are profitting quite well off the illicit smuggling business but who cares??
$4 a pack smokes are horrible...

Here is the latest press release, There are lots of opinions on what the ultimate goals are. ( they range from just a publicity attempt, to full face value)
I guess time will tell..........

MEDIA RELEASE*
Immediate Release: 24 December 2007

*Lakota Freedom: Treaty Withdrawal For Elders and Children* *Sovereignty Action Sparks World Discussion, Disagreement, Inspiration*
* **Lakota *? What began as sparsely attended press conference announcing Lakota sovereignty has grown into an international roar of freedom inspiring people on every continent and sparking excitement and discussion in homes, tribal councils, schools, and on internet blogs and message boards. Across Indian Country in particular, the impact of the sovereign action is creating both inspiration and concern as the reality of freedom sinks in.
But mixed with the excitement and joy are concerns the Lakota people's needs will not be fully met, especially needs and concerns of the youth.
Lakota Freedom delegate and Oglala Lakota Cante Tenza - Strongheart Warrior Society leader Canupa Gluha Mani (Duane Martin Sr.) issued the following statement after discussion with the Strongheart Grandmothers:
"The whole Lakota declaration of withdrawal from the treaty is vested on the power of the Lakota people and our children.
When we undertook the process of announcing the withdrawal, the capacity was far greater than most people anticipated about an individual. But throughout our history, the people have never excluded anyone within our own lifeway and when it becomes a listener's view that its about one individual, one individual does not represent the Nation itself, the Nation represents the individual, and that is Lakota.
The withdrawal is for the people, the Elders, mothers, fathers, and the children.
Throughout our history and through the enforcement of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, Congress said they would oversee the provisions of 1868 (Fort Laramie Treaty), but they failed to do so. Some minor provisions were kept, but overall the treaty was not honored. Because if the treaty was honored, we would not have this colonial catastrophe of alcoholism, drug abuse and poverty and we wouldn't have the overall high incarceration rate of the male and female in the prison populations. This leads to our children being taking away by Social Services which puts our children out of balance from learning the traditional lifeway.
When the children can reconnect with who they are, they come back to the process of knowing what is Lakota in the true point of view. In this true point of view, Lakota is about being free and left alone, so we can govern and save our own with the teachings of the Animal Nations.
If we can conclude with this statement in the positive venue, its not about Russell Means, and certainly not about Canupa Gluha Mani or any individual, this about the Lakota Nation and the Animal People who are no longer alone."
*We are the freedom loving Lakota from the Sioux Indian reservations of ** Nebraska**, **North Dakota**, **South Dakota** and **Montana** who have withdrawn from the constitutionally mandated treaties to become a free and independent country. We are alerting the Family of Nations we have now reassumed our freedom and independence with the backing of Natural, International, and **United States** law.
