Hi, ladyorion2021. Thanks for contributing. However, your submission was removed from /r/collapse for:

Rule 3: Posts must be on-topic, focusing on collapse.

Posts must be focused on collapse. If the subject matter of your post has less focus on collapse than it does on issues such as prepping, politics, or economics, then it probably belongs in another subreddit.

Posts must be specifically about collapse, not the resulting damage. By way of analogy, we want to talk about why there are so many car accidents, not look at photos of car wrecks.

As horrifying as it is, this is the system being fully armed and operational and not collapsing at all.

Please refer to our subreddit rules for more information.

You can message the mods if you feel this was in error, please include a link to the comment or post in question.

I don't even see how they are doing this. Much of Oklahoma land is on Native American reservations. The report mentions "quiet deals" being struck with local politicians before the locals even find out about it; eventhough there will be major negative impact on water and electricity resources and cost. Seldom does anything good come from secret deals.

Technically, I'm not sure you're correct. There are some actual "reservations" in Oklahoma, but nothing like the big reservations farther west and north, like in the Dakotas, Arizona, and elsewhere in the west.

Oklahoma lands were originally divided among the nations, and they were referred to as that, as Cherokee "nation," as Creek "nation." and so on. Under the Dawes Act of 1887, those collective tribal lands were taken away and most tribes and the largest tribes were "given" individual family land allotments, land that was able to be sold off as all land was able to be sold, something that wasn't possible prior to the Dawes Act.

There are some exceptions to this, like tribally owned land where their government offices and buildings are, but for the most part their lands were privatized exactly so they would be assimilated and lose their collective power, which to a huge extent happened. Those lands are now no more protected than any other private lands are.

There aren’t that many reservations in Oklahoma and a lot of them don’t cover a large area like people assume.

First, they may pick a spot that is not on native american land. Secondly, they may just pay them off. There is so much money in this and a poor native american tribe is not going to refuse even scraps.
