This is a jurisdiction issue only. The treaty hasn't been change, which means legally the treaty stands as written in the 1800's. The legislature is in charge of writing laws....they failed to do it. The child rapist will be retried under federal jurisdiction. Only applies to natives. Doesn't change ownership of the land.

Isn't everyone born here a native American? So it comes down to what year your relatives were born?

I wonder if it's anything to do with NESSARA?

Not getting into specifics about the treaty, but leftist globalists have a lot of influence on some First Nations reservations. It's also interesting that Remington was recently purchased by First Nation people - if the left has any influence over how Remington is run we pretty much know how that will end.
This is not my area of expertise...just my thoughts. Hopefully, those more knowledgeable on the matter will speak up.

Hmmm, how can unelected judges take land from a state? Is this where they are storing weapons from fast and furious and ISIS, from Middle East??? Under Obozo he was really chummy with Indians. Just my 2 cents

No one is taking land from a state. This is only about who has jurisdiction over tribal citizens within their nations boundaries. If an American Indian commits a crime within their tribal boundaries they are only subject to federal prosecution not state or local. Or they can be prosecuted by their tribal court system. This isn’t that big of a deal. Criminals will still get prosecuted and will go to federal prison rather than a state prison. Tribes will likely end up paying local sheriffs to jail American Indians convicted of small crimes that don’t meet the standard for federal prosecution. Or they may defer prosecution to the local police or sheriffs after a conviction in tribal courts.
For full disclosure, I’m a member of the Chickasaw Nation and we have our own tribal police. They often assist small town police or highway patrol (if requested) inside our tribal boundaries.

This is misleading misinformation. This is a jurisdictional issue that applies to registered members of the Creek Nation committing offenses on Creek Nation territory. It does not apply to registered members who commit offenses outside of the Creek Nation territory or to nonmembers of the Creek Nation within or outside of the Creek Nation territory.
