Why do we have Indian reservations?

A lot of the Native Americans in OK were displaced Cherokee from Georgia and Tennessee. Well, the ones who survived the Trail of Tears, anyway.

Yea, they were trying to explain it all to me. I thought it all sounded kinda neat-o. The guy who adopted my brother works at social services for the Choctaw nation.
Honestly, wish I knew more about it all.

The east coast Native Americans are probably the best documented, tons of verifiable information out there.

My great x5 grandfather was married to a Cherokee woman ... while he was married to his white wife. He was having children by both women at the same time. When his Cherokee family was sent to OK he went with them, leaving the white family in Georgia. I'm descended from the Georgia branch of the family.

And to think a mere 50 miles to the west is a lode of 1.2 million acres they are entitled to.

I agree, the Badlands have a unique beauty all it's own.

So I guess that sux for you that you cant check the "native american" box and get preferential treatment by the goobermint.
