Always have had, once they discovered what they thought were wastelands - are ABOVE ground - that they 'gave' the Indians turned out to have 'riches' under the ground. THEN - the GOV"T claimed control over anything underground...and let anyone BUT the Indians claim leases and rake in the riches.

I guess OBambi is all wee - weed up about this

, The "Three Tribes" of North Dakota raised $40 million with investors contributing another $360 million in bonds to build a new oil refinery, loading docks, rail head, storage tanks, pipelines on 190 Acres of their property.....the rest of the 440 acre property is devoted to raising buffalo. They also going to refine their own oil from the property.
