Check Fire!! Check Fire!!
I think you guys are missing the point. @Borderland @Stephanie B this is not about returning land to someone. This is about who enforces what laws. This all came from someone that was convicted of murder by the state, and then filed an appeal that the state had no authority to arrest him, because it happened on Tribal land. So he is trying to get the conviction thrown out. Which is what will happen now. So now the Feds have to prosecute him. This is not going to be about returning land to a tribe. That will never happen.
Correct. The case wasn't about land ownership and the SC didn't determine anything regarding that. They just based their decision on a map of the treaty reservation.
Nothing to get excited about.....yet.
If the OK tribes ever have an NFL football team will they be the White Skins or Claim Jumpers?

In the P-F basket of deplorables.
@vcdgrips
I know there is an act that allows the prosecution of state crimes in federal court if the crimes occurred on federal property...I don’t think that it’s used often (I’ve only been part of one case where we did that).
Would that work on tribal land?
