You'll note that I didn't say they OWNED the land, they hold it "in trust" for the people of the United States. In fact, there is little to allow them to even do that, but de facto, that is the case.
Its a sad state of affairs when our own government is fighting someone who has been on that land for generations, has not been accused of malfeasance or neglicence, yet is being forced off the land.
To many judges, not enough common sense!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
