Back to square one?
“His court was unique in the fact that he had jurisdiction over all of Indian Territory, covering over 74,000 square miles”
The Parker Court.
I scalp you, you scalp me . . .
Interesting. So that half of state is no longer under state control? Stop paying state taxes if you live there? And cities now report to tribes? Will tribes modify citizenship to allow for non-Indians?
An I identify as Indian while in their lands?
“Should have taken our own scalps”.
And picked our own damned cotton.
Think this will end up like the 1880s Oklahoma Indian Territory in which Tribal courts caught tribal offenders, tried them and executed them without interference from the Feds?
Whites committing crimes in Indian Territory were chased down by US Marshals and taken to Judge Parker’s court in Ft Smith Arkansas where many ended up dancing a jig at the end of a rope. We could use some of Judge Parker’s justice throughout the USA today.
Need maps? Here are lots of them.

... Yup.... Interesting times .....
Since the people in Eastern Oklahoma are now on an Indian Reservation I guess they should get drunk and drive around in overpriced pickups.
Or maybe Johnny Tired Eyes will show up on your doorstep and say, “this is my house, white boy, clear out NOW!!!”
Deep state federalizing states... nothing to do with Indians.
ANd how cynical of supremes to take up the arguments of a serial pedophile but ignore the cases brought up by law abiding citizens on the 2A to its floor.

Examples of colonial attributes adopted by these five tribes include Christianity, centralized governments, literacy, market participation, written constitutions, intermarriage with white Americans, and plantation slavery practices.I have visited the Chief Vann House Historic Site and the Cherokee Capital at New Echota several times in my youth and adulthood. Odd though, I lived in Rome, Georgia for many years and never visited the home of another Cherokee Chief, Major Ridge, even driving by it numerous times through the years.
Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home
Come to think of it, I even went to an Indian Pow-Wow once just down the road at Ridge Ferry Park, but still never have been inside his home. Oh, and yes, Major Ridge did own a ferry over the Oostanaula River.
So if I buy a house in eastern Oklahoma can I turn it into a Casino?
Interesting. Now how many other areas will be brought into the same legal wasteland? Being in PR right now, maybe I’ll end up under Spanish jurisdiction when this is over?
So after Andrew Jackson’s(D) trail of tears campaign, Southern Democrats took some non-legislative shortcuts to create another slave state? Is this the same land the homesteaders had to race each other to grab the land they wanted?
Incorrect. Gorsuch limited his decision to the proper jurisdiction to prosecute crimes but he recognized in his opinion that it may not remain there.
So many questions. Does that mean the Indian Reservations have to reimburse the US for all the capital improvements on their land? Does the US government have to return all the tax money collected from that land? Is the Indian Reservation now responsible for all the infrastructure on their lands? The unintended consequences of this will be a massive for generations.
I am waiting to hear that all the Federal & State Cigarette Tax Revenues have to be rebated to the tribes or something.
