That sort of purchasing is happening a lot, I think.  It gives landless
groups a home base, even if no-one lives on that home base.  I know the
Nanicoke of New Jersey are looking at buying a farm and turning it into
a cultural center.   It would give them a larger home base, where they
could have pow-wows, etc.  Right now, they have their office in the back
of a store; and they hold their pow-wows at the county fair grounds. But
I don't think anyone would actually *live* on that farm.
