Oops! Someone forgot to dot the I and cross the T on a document agreement with the Creek Tribe back in the 1800s.
A man won his case by declaring his crime took place on Indian land, out of U.S. jurisdiction, when he raped a 4 year old child. The treaty was never finished, so the Supreme Court had to rule in favor of the rapist.
The Creek Tribe was unaware that half of OK still belonged to them, legally, until this court case came up.
There will be things to figure out in the days ahead, and other tribes will be affected as well.
Chalk up a win for our Native Americans. I'm glad they finally got some justice for what was taken from them all those years ago.
I think I must have been a Native American in a past life because I've always felt a strong connection to them.
