And does that mean I can join the Bureau of Indian Affairs police so that the white natives will have ample representation?
How about the lower 48?
Reading up on it a little I think there is another issue: they just legitimized reparations. Justice Gorsuch wrote: “Because Congress has not said otherwise, we hold the government to its word.”

I think you are right in your assessment that it wasn't a lawful treaty approved by Congress. Note that I didn't say legalize, but legitimize. He was acting as an emissary of the government, so that's where I think someone will try. I mean, hell, why not try? The door has been opened, and the outside chance doesn't seem so outside these days.
I mean yes I already can join the BIA Police, or rather I can apply to do so if I have the educational requirements or qualifications despite being Caucasian. And I wouldn't be disappointed if I was rejected. It was only half-serious, anyway.
Bulldozers, cops, and social workers cleaned up their room for them, and kicked them out.
@Memberberries I get the impression you don’t understand what jurisdiction means.
Check out the nature of the relationship between the tribes and the federal government, and then the states. How would a Tulsa cop arrest someone for violating state or federal law on a reservation? He might as well go arrest people in Mexico. The tribes and local LE might try to hodgepodge something workable together, who knows, I hear the word collaboration being used heavily. I think this is a stop gap, because obviously the tribes can’t afford to govern their new citizens yet. They will have to start collecting the taxes to build out their own infrastructure which can be transitioned to later. However, the legal nature and ultimate reality of those lands for those people, is they went to bed in Tulsa, Oklahoma USA and woke up in a different country with no state. If local government remains to any degree, it will be under the tribe’s direction and authority.Frequently Asked Questions | Indian Affairs

How will there not be a mass release of inmates? What’s going to happen once there is a mass granting of appeals?? I’ll answer- there will be a mass releasing of prisoners. That’s exactly what this precedent does.
The truth is there isn’t much question what this means. The questions are how much can and will the tribes be able to take on, but legally it’s all theirs now. Relationships concerning reservations have been well defined. If you keep your property, it’s because the tribe honors the other countries deeds and covenants. If they don’t want you to own it, you don’t. Question about taxes? There isn’t one, the tribe sets and collects it’s taxes. Laws? The tribe has to write them. Law Enforcement? Belongs to the tribes.
It sure is! And has to be, if the legal reality were discussed with clarity, the people would likely leave. That means the tax revenue necessary to build tribal governance would dry up. Like I said in an earlier post it’ll take 10-20 years for the people to see what this means, and probably another decade or two to accept it, but unless Trump or the people intervene, it’s inevitable.
Generally whites can’t hunt on reservations, even on their “own” land. But don’t worry the natives will hunt them for you, because you can’t post your land and those guys hunt year round.
