There were people shopping at ... by Marilee Foster

The salient issue: The tribe seems to think that just because it acquires additional land in a modern-day real estate transaction, it magically transforms that land into the equivalent of aboriginal, “reservation land,” because such additional land was once part of its historical territory 375 years ... by Staff Writer
