If the U.S. is no longer bound by the treaty, then the U.S. will probably lay claim to the land the Lakota think is theirs. Further, the Lakota, by repudiating their treaty are probably giving up very significant mineral and water rights which they won't get to have anymore.
I just don't see how this can be a good thing for the Lakota.
