Hi Jim...
-> Contrary to popular belief, some of the reservations in the U.S. are
-> a veritable "checkerboard" of land owners. They are not necessarily
-> totally contiguous pieces of sovereign land.
I've just become aware that part of a local reserve has been 'developed'
and houses can be bought on reserve land.  I have yet to find out if
they're freehold or lease-hold.  Around here 'developed' generally means
houses shoulder to shoulder and fiddly curved streets, cul-de-sacs and
other what-nots to confuse us types who remember when this city was
built on a grid system - I haven't seen these ones, but that's the
usual story in this constantly-growing city.  It makes sense to sell or
lease some lots on a reserve that's becoming surrounded by city anyway.
Well, hey, however a native Indian does something is the 'Indian way'.
