The Republic of Lakotah website states that "The Republic of Lakotah is in NO WAY associated with this new “freelakotabank.” Caveat Emptor![1] The website of this unregistered bank[2] doesn't actually say it has an official relationship, only that " Sovereign Members of the Lakota Nation commissioned our currency in partnership with the American Open Currency Standard" (and I'm guessing that 'sovereign members' of this unrecognised nation are like sovereign citizens with no official standing to act on behalf of the group). There doesn't seem to be an official currency yet issued by the Republic of Lakotah. Dougweller (talk) 08:23, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The site of the Republic of Lakotah does state it has nothing to do with the bank. However, this page has not been well maintained since the death of the former leader. It has been kept up, but the bank of Lakota and the Lakota mint websites have been regularly updated since. In particular the Lakota Mint website was put up only after the death of Russell Means, the former leader.

Neutralization would be a better option in this case rather than deletion, I do say this with some bias as the creator of the page. HalifaxnBlack (talk) 19:31, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
