The Nooksack 306 were legally disinherited from their tribe, could it happen here? (www.usatoday.com)

Surprisingly in depth article from USA Today on how federally recognized tribes can boot their own members and evict them from tribal housing. The Cherokee Nation took away citizenship and benefits to the Freedmen descendants, who took it all the way to the US Supreme Court and won their case. The Freedmen were reinstated as Cherokee Nation citizens, but the tension is still there. Startling similarities between the Nooksack 306 and the above.
