The Governor of Oklahoma, Kevin Stitt, has been pretty open about the fact that his family did this. People gave Warren shit, but Stitt is so much worse especially considering the way he fucks with the tribes while claiming their heritage. (Stitt was also involved in lots of real estate scams - I believe there’s several states he’s barred from conducting business in)

What makes it even worse is that being “too” indigenous - having too much indigenous heritage - meant that you were too incompetent to manage your own land. It needed to be managed by a white conservator. If you want to see how fucked this situation was, Flowers of the Killer Moon is great.
