#1 I think most all the tribes in Oklahoma were moved there in the 1830's. Their archaological sites are back in TN etc. And almost all their OK burial sites are in the church cemeteries, same as everybody else.

#2 Yep. The "Indian Territory" - up until the Oklahoma Land Rush, that is.

My great grand-daddy staked a claim, and later bought another 1/4 section for $5 and a rifle.

#3 Ultimately, the tribe signed a series of treaties that pushed it to Illinois, then Iowa, then Kansas and finally in the 1870s to the Indian Territory...

Seems like they could lay claim to Chicago although I don't know why anyone would want it.

#4 They can have Chicago.

Lord knows they can't do any worse than the current owners.

#5 And almost all their OK burial sites...

You mean a voter rich environment for Democrats?

#7 We had a job in the Bering Sea area years ago. It was an archaeologists dream. Thousands of years of lots of artifacts. We had an archaeologist on staff for that job. Got an MOA and a monitoring plan and protocols with SHPO. So there we were, merrily digging a trench for a raw water pipeline and discovered an intact skeleton. Turns out this poor chap had 19 arrow heads in his body. Not a popular character, I would say.
