This will get very interesting

Indeed. Apparently it's all legal -- and after 33+ years of research, they should know. Whether that will be honored....

And be even more interesting is non-Indian U.S. citizens join in.... changing citizenship isn't something to be decided lightly.

My experience of Lakota politics suggests that it would be like a non-Jew moving to Israel.

In that they'd never truly be a part of the nation? Of course.

I guess it depends on if they're willing to let anyone have representation in their gov't besides them. And, regardless of the treaties situation, I don't think they can take what is currently private property without some sort of compensation -- wouldn't be wise to try, either. I'd rather not see fighting break out over there.

About time.

So it begins.
