What is interesting is how back then "decades ago" people were reclaiming church land back to the natives.
But now the church is trying to end native rituals like for the sun.

A Christian pastor called Arapaho ceremonies ‘idol worship.’ Now the tribe wants her church gone​

Confusing how Scott Simon is writing about Simon Winchester.

Which is why it's called "the trinity"?

I'm trying to make sense of "reclaiming church land back to the natives."
I haven't been able to make sense of this.

I thought of bequeathing my private real estate to a local native nation.
But I get the impression I can bequeath ownership, but not sovereignty.

There's a militia-style slogan: - You don't own land in the United States, you rent it from the government. -
meaning: You own your wristwatch, even if you inherited it from Dad. Periodic $payments to government not required.
Kitchen utensils? They're yours. BUT !
Even if your name is on your real estate deed, you have to pay $tax on it, $AND !
if you don't, they'll take it away from you.

I think it legally was all originally reservation land, but the church stole a small part of it long ago, and now the natives want that small part back.

Thanks R5.
I can't find much pride for U.S. federal treatment of our aboriginal countrymen.
