Thanks DA.

I will admit, my knowledge of eastern tribes is less extensive than my knowledge of the Lakota peoples.

The treaties signed by the Lakotas were signed in the late 1860's-1870's, with the fateful Battle of Little Big Horn being fought in 1876, the year of the founding of my alma mater as well(and also the founding of budweiser, so, kinda a good year for Kitso all around)

My experience with tribal-government relations has therefore been shaped by the experiences of a war-weary people, who signed treaties and were then slaughtered in camps at Wounded Knee, and are still today fighting for the allowances given to them in those treaties.
