The map is from the 90s and outdated. There are other maps available that are more recent and include additional reservations, is there any reason this one in particular is used? 98.179.206.20 (talk) 11:53, 2 December 2023 (UTC) Reply
- We need a new public domain/copyright free version of the map. If you find one then we can add it, but its not as easy as it sounds. TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 19:01, 2 December 2023 (UTC) Reply
Were any other reservations ruled not to have been disestablished besides those of the Cherokee Nation, Chickasaw Nation, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Quapaw Nation, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and Wyandotte Nation? That is, are the Eastern Shawnee, Modoc, Seneca-Cayuga, or Shawnee Tribe eligible to have their reservation reestablished? Yuchitown (talk) 16:39, 29 November 2024 (UTC) Reply
Native American reservations are still subject to federal laws, meaning they are semi-autonomous because they don't have full power of what goes on in their reservation. Aspecotofdajerry (talk) 20:20, 16 January 2025 (UTC) Reply
- I completely agree. Especially after Public Law 280 and the Major Crimes Act, both of which are systematic attempts to wear away at Indigenous Sovereignty. 107.190.84.15 (talk) 10:41, 24 September 2025 (UTC) Reply
Redirect?
[edit ]I was trying to look up the song Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian), popularized by Paul Revere and the Raiders, but only found a capitalization redirect to the article on Indian reservation.
The name Indian reservation is outdated and cruel ~2026-43085-13 (talk) 03:48, 4 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
