Frank Star Comes Out (Oglala Sioux) is a Native American politician who has served as president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe since 2022.
Election
In November 2022, Star Comes Out defeated incumbent Kevin Killer by less than 600 votes, and was inaugurated president on December 6, 2022. Star Comes Out was elected to a second term in November 2024 by about 500 votes.
Crime & Emergency Declaration
In July 2022, the tribe sued the Bureau of Indian Affairs, claiming that there was a "public safety crisis" and the bureau was obligated by treaty to provide adequate law enforcement funding to combat it. The tribe said it had only five officers on shift at most times, not enough to cover the reservation. Judge Roberto Lange ruled in favor of the tribe, agreeing that the United States had a treaty obligation to fund law enforcement, but declined to force the bureau to spend a specific amount. Though the ruling was considered a victory for the tribe, it did not lead to an increase in funding.
On November 18, 2023, President Star Comes Out declared a state of emergency "due to a breakdown of Law and Order on the Reservation", blaming the lack of funding for the increase in crime and saying the situation had only gotten worse since the ruling.
Conflict with Governor Noem
In February 2024, Star Comes Out banned South Dakota governor Kristi Noem from the Pine Ridge reservation over her comments that Mexican cartels were using the reservation for drug smuggling, which Star Comes Out claimed were made for political gain. Seven of South Dakota's other eight tribes banned her in the following months.
