I talked to the Lakota Country Times in SD and the secretary of the President of the Lakota Nation (just googled and called). Of the three people I spoke to none of them had heard of any plan for the Lakota Nation to formally adopt a crypto-currency. One of them had never even heard of crypto-currency. The paper asked for me to call again tomorrow because they were very busy going to press, and that they might have someone who could talk more with me then.
Can someone address why the Lakota would not know of their own currency?

Well, just the statement about when they go to press suggests that maybe a press push starts tomorrow. On the other hand, I also wouldn't be suprised if a lot of people weren't aware of this, I don't think the dev planned on it blowing up so fast based on statements he has made. At this point too many major media sources have covered it for me to think it is a scam.
