Some contract made by Andrew Jackson or something? Doesn't seem to be the Indian Removal Act (from Wikipedia), but wasn't there something to the extent that American land west of the Mississippi was Amerindian land?

And for some of the dense folk on this thread, no, not supporting giving all the land west of the Mississippi to the Amerindians.

Perhaps. There were so many treaties that were made and broken that I've lost count. And, same as you, I'm not supporting giving anything back either direction. Must say also that my grandparents were born in IT (Indian Territory). That is how Oklahoma was notated prior to 1907. Since it is home and I like it up there I wouldn't change it back. (no, I don't think I am part Amerindian)
