Can't take land from someone who doesn't believe in ownership of land to begin with.

Unless a casino is on it.

The native indians here on the S. Texas coast were the Karankawas. Even the other indians hated them. They were supposedly cannibals. I have to give them credit - they are part of the reason the early French settlers didn't make a go of it here.

It was mostly Ottawa and related tribes here in southern Michigan who allied themselves with the french at some times and the Brits at others.

Michigan is loaded with indian names like Tecumseh and Oceola. There's the big Soaring Eagle casino up at Mount Pleasant.
