[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4549281, member: 24302"] Amigo for the longest time Native Americans were excluded from participation in the greater society. They weren't even given citizenship until 1924. My father's family is Scots-Irish, my mother's Irish-Cherokee. I get it, it was warfare, the natives lost. Reservations were in ancestral homelands out west(with exceptions)and in a few places back east. But Oklahoma was reserved for tribes who were marched there at the point of a gun. Signed treaties are law and not subject to the whims of a new generation. And the Supreme Court just rightfully ruled that a crime committed on tribal land isn't subject to state courts but must be tried in Federal courts. In Oklahoma the state authorities are highly likely to be of mixed ancestry anyways and not the white good ol' boy network of the plantation south. [/QUOTE]
