Just remembered another case of Indian land ownership. The Big Horn in
Montana. I believe the lodges and guides on the Big Horn pay something to the
Crow Tribe. All of the land from Hardin to the Wyoming border is Crow
Reservation. Some very nice land. I am sure there are other instances of
Indian ownership of land.

I also don't see how restitution could ever be fairly done, however, to
say that they were given some "very nice land" is bull****. SOME of it
might be somewhat desirable now for reasons unseen at the time but most
is pretty ****ty land. Tt was the land that "the white man" didn't
want. When the "white man" changed his mind and decided he wanted the
land that he had "given" to the Indians, he just took it.
