From what I gather reading a couple of articles at random the recommendations from a panel, of mostly Indians, wants to put ownership of Indian lands in the hands of Native Americans (novel idea) - thus cutting red tape imposed by federal gvt ownership so that Indian Nations can more easily either drill on their own land or lease it out. Reservation lands were put under gvt ownership to keep the land out of the hands of the white man. Regulations were slapped on land use to such an extent that even the Indian Nations are greatly restricted and handicapped in drilling. The end goal seems to make the oil more accessible to Indians who can benefit. If privatizing Indian lands means passing ownership of that land to Native Indians, some may be in favor of the idea.

privately owned land tends to be better taken care of then communal land that's for sure. The aerial maps of reservations that REASON magazine published a bit ago were pretty stark proof (and yes the neighboring lands were Indian owned).

Keeping the Tribes under some sort of communal setup heavily supervised by the BIA hasn't worked out well at all and it shouldn't surprise anyone that so many young people have left the Reservations to live elsewhere.

Trump is always offending pieces of crap. And that’s okay with me. They’re mad that they rigged the election and STILL lost.

Ataturk might not appreciate being represented by women in this image since he was a Muslim Capt Dwayne Conyers. Of course these women could well resemble the butchers who slaughtered the Armenians [in their native American dreams of course.
As an basic historian knows the Young Turks were thugs who slaughtered whole families of Armenians while the Great War raged on.
