‘Ignorant and disrespectful’: Fringe hate group hands out anti-Native flyers on Lakota reservations

TikTokers say in recent viral videos that members of an extremist religious group handed out anti-Native American flyers on Native reservations.
The Black Israelites are a fringe religious movement associated with forced segregation. Members of the group allegedly visited Pine Ridge, South Dakota, and Rosebud, Oregon—both reservations that are home to the Lakota people—on April 10.
Native TikTokers say that the group disseminated anti-Native materials in Rosebud. In Pine Ridge, Black Israelites were escorted out of the reservation by tribal police. The Oglala Sioux Tribe Department of Public Safety did not immediately respond to the Daily Dot's request for comment.
In one TikTok posted on April 10, Native TikToker Emma Blacksmith captured men wearing purple and yellow shirts with the Black Israelite logo standing outside Big Bat's convenience store on the Pine Ridge reservation. Big Bat's employees confirmed the incident in a brief phone interview with the Daily Dot.
"Them Israelites came to the reservation and got escorted off by the police," Blacksmith wrote in the video's overlay text. "They came with an agenda.. Because they feel they are the First People.. Being ignorant and disrespectful that's sad."
