“This case didn’t change ownership of any land. It didn’t impact the prosecutions of non-Indians in any way. All it did was bring clarity to jurisdictional questions regarding the border, and it enhanced the Creek Nation's ability as a sovereign nation to work with other sovereign interests to protect people and to work in common interests."

Doesn’t sound like a big deal.

What some people on this thread want this ruling to be is not what it is.

There are other areas in the country that are similar where there is private property inside the boundaries of the reservation. The only potential issue is whether you want to be subject to tribal laws or not.

Some may think they are better off and some think they might be worse. Obviously, the Indians affected by the case would rather be subject to tribal laws.

This could potentially affect the Colville, which originally covered a LOT of Washington from the Cascades east.

This will have to do with taxation and casinos.

Do you really think the US Gov will comply to an agreement for once?, now with more power and build more casinos and the acquisition of Remington Arms, they will be in fat city, now will they cherish the land they walk on and and watch the US crumble around them?:flag2:

having a nation within our nation can be a problem. it already is in many places. the blackfeet indians closed most of the entrances to glacier national park so no one can drive thorough it and go into the reservation.
if you happen to own land within, you cannot sell it without offering it first to the reservation at your selling price.
they once put a gross ten percent tax on all transaction for non indians, eventually removed it.
they do not have to pay property taxes or state income or sales tax.

Is there still a checkpoint on a freeway in Kansas?

I don't blame them a bit. Would you let infected and infectious foreigners come and go as they please over your property? Or give up the right to keep them out?

Things can look a little different when you live away from it and see the flood of tourists from infected areas roll in thinking they're at their playground now and the hell with you and everybody else.

I don’t think closing an exit/entrance on one side of Glacier is any different than what states are doing with 14 day quarantines, mandatory maskes, etc.
