What the Oneidas of Wisconsin did was to buy up homes and land within the boundaries of the reservation as it came on the market.

If I remember correctly, the NY Oneidas were suing to obtain land where tens of thousands of (non-Indian) people are now living. While most people assumed this was a ploy to get the government to pay the Oneidas off, the homeowners whose properties were threatened had an extremely hard time selling. Friends of ours were unable to sell until last year, when the issue appeared over.
