Here is a pop quiz.  Can you name the county with the most reservations or 
even the state it is in?

In that county sometime around 1900 a local land commissioner shot and 
killed an Indian on the main street.  He was not charged because the only 
witnesses were Indians and they could not testify in Court.  This same land 
commissioner altered survey records by changing a township number by one 
moving a reservation slightly north into very poor lands.  He told no one 
and when the records were accepted by the government the Indians could not 
sue but had to move from an area of decent farm land to an area of hills 
and rocks.
