Native lands
David Neiwert is worth reading no matter what he’s writing about. His regular blog, Orcinus, is the best site on the web for keeping in touch with the activities of home-grown American hate groups and various groundswells of racism and terror in the U.S.
He has a piece up this week at The American Street, which addresses a different subject, one I haven’t read about before: various attempts to reclaim land from Indian tribes in the western U.S., land given in treaties long ago and since grabbed away at every chance. These are things I figured were settled long ago, but apparently there are quite a few people in this country who don’t like having theoretically sovereign Indian tribes in this country. His writing on this rings clear, as all his writing does, and it’s a subject that matters. Thanks, David.
