The Supreme Court ruled today that a big chunk of Oklahoma is actually a Native American reservation, including most of Tulsa. Apparently this impacts what laws apply, so state law may not exist in Tulsa any more.
Link below. Apparently the Muscogee Indians argued that their reservation was never officially taken away when Oklahoma became a state. The government believed that statehood rendered the reservation moot, but the Supreme Court disagrees. So as of today we now have an enormous reservation that apparently controls Tulsa, and I bet they buy Dan Snyder's team once they kill off all of the illegal settlers and take their stuff.
I wonder about the other Indian lands now. It seems like other Indian tribes can make the same argument.

Oh no I wasn't that brave. That would tear your skin right off. But I did climb the ladder to get into the whale head area and took some pictures with it. I don't really understand why I had so much fun at some old whale water park that is now decrepit but I did. [Reply]
kind of off topic, but if you're interested in reading about the history of the oklahoma osage tribe murders over their oil and the birth of the fbi, "killers of the flower moon", is a great book
sec [Reply]

Hell I climbed up on to the tail for a selfie. And the water looks even more disgusting in this pic. :-)
