Thank you for a great answer. The only tribes we have in New England are for casinos. This is a very “western” issue that we hear little about.
Well, something to keep in mind is the fact that there are NO REAL reservations east of the Mississippi, despite what those particular Indians try to argue. Their “reservations” are simply recreations (through private purchases of land) of those bought out in the early 19th century, as opposed to the treaty reservations further west, where tribes were settled following bloody Indian wars.
