Supreme Court Rules That About Half Of Oklahoma Is Indian Land

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that about half of the land in Oklahoma is within an Indian reservation as stated in treaties.

"Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation. ... Because Congress has not said other­wise, we hold the government to its word," wrote Justice Gorsuch.
