On a similar note I heard a few years ago about a situation involving the Black Feet of Montana. They did not conceed their land in any treaty, they had signed 100 year leases at the turn of the 20th century. Those leases where expiring. They still owned much of western Montana according to these documents. The 5th generation ranchers of the area where disagreeing.
I have never been able to find out more about it then this sketchy overview. I would be curious to know what, if any of this, is true and what has or is transpired with it all. , Ian Dana wrote: > In case anyone is interested: > > http://www.republicoflakotah.com/ > > For what it is worth though, the Navaho also consider themselves a separate > country and have for years. > > http://www.navajo.org/history.htm > > I am not sure how they reconcile this with service in the US Army... > > On Jan 2, 2008 8:21 AM, Dana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> eh.
