His single–engine Stinson aircraft remains at the reservation for now

[Yo-Yo]

Was the area outlined in a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) about the restricted flight area on published flight charts?

[Skywise]

If he wasn’t under 20,000 feet until the engine seized up then he’s not in violation of the law!

[shelterguy]

The last time I worked on the Red Lake Rez was about 25 years ago. It was a crime ridden dump then. I’m sure it is far worse now.

[rlmorel]

But first do supersonic flybys at 200 feet with about 20 B-1 bombers.

[Does so]

Would this antique airplane be treated—under Indian law—the same as an antique firearm?

[T.B. Yoits]

That works both ways.

[econjack]

IT appears that the tribal agreement forbids Air Force craft from flying over the reservation. Also, is that law reflected on FAA flight maps as a no-fly zone. If not, methinks they are on thin legal grounds. Finally, I think it’s just bad ju-ju to take this kind of unfriendly stand and make the Karma gods PO’ed at the tribe.

So many of these native Indian “tribes” have become so co-mingled with White man’s blood that their are now very few pure bloods left anymore. You see them and they are pasty white, with whiter skin than Snow White, and often times have last names like Smith or Jones.

[SaxxonWoods]

Planes probably fly over constantly, nothing they can do about it. So, when they get their hands on one, yeah they are make a big deal out of it.

[Track9]

This is something Elizabeth Warren would do.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I am watching the series "The Lowdown" right now, the plot of which involves former Indian land and skullduggery around it. It's actually pretty good show, written by native Americans who grew up in the area and moved to California to pursue their dream of producing movies. The dialog reminds me of Elmore Leonard who created the character that Justified was based upon.

[tired&retired]

Do they own the Red Lakes Casino?

[cherry]

I notice the tribes are always in line for US govt handouts even though they don’t pay taxes..thdy a t e sovreign until its not convenient...

[PGR88]

Its their new Air Force.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Eh.

The last paragraph does seem to say what it says.

Not sure they can confiscate his plane as no punishment is named. But providing that they have authority over their airspace up to 20,000 feet (not sure that is accurate) then he might have been in the wrong.

[dagunk]

Smedsmo was told his plane had violated the tribe’s 1978 law banning ‘any airplane’ from flying over Red Lake lands at less than 20,000 feet.

*************************************************

He wasn’t flying - he was crashing, albiet very gently.

Were the natives high on peyote?
