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?

Cross-posted.

Well, just the statement about when they go to press suggests that maybe a press push starts tomorrow.

Its a newspaper. They go to press, it is what they do.
How on earth does that confirm the story?

I think he thinks that they are going to press with info about Mazacoin. To make it clear, they were NOT going to press about Mazacoin. They knew nothing about Maza at all.

I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to spread FUD. Just an FYI. I assume the developers of any coin shouldn't mind people having questions and concerns, right?

What would be sufficent may I ask?

That's a good question. My concern is that it is fairly simple to take the name of an under-represented people and use it to pump up a coin (and subsequently dump). I am wary of the fact that no one else seems to know about the coin; I don't understand why it should be a secret to the very people it's supposed to help. I may be wrong. I've been wrong before. But why hasn't there been a general announcement among the Lakota Nation? That's my concern.
