[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4288740, member: 26737"] There are no reservations, per se, in Oklahoma because the reservations were all broken up and the land was given out as allotments to the tribal members, many, if not most, of whom ended up being swindled out of it. That was not one of the finer hours in our state’s (or nation’s) history, but it is what it is. (Oklahoma native Angie Debo wrote extensively on the subject, and she had to go out of state to get her books published.) The reservations were broken up insofar as the lands were divided into private parcels and no longer owned by the tribes, but that did nothing to extinguish the jurisdictional boundaries of the tribal governments, which is what led us to the McGirt decision. And that is a whole ‘nother level of squirrelly. [/QUOTE]
