This is interesting.

Also a question - are non natives living in tribal land under tribal jurisdiction?

Lack of precedent. Non-natives can’t live on reservations.

Hmmm, so then my parents lied about where they lived from 1983 to 1992 and I have false memories of living there?

Depends on what you mean by "under tribal jurisdiction". For example my parents could not vote in tribal elections as they were not members. They could still vote in elections for mayor and county offices.

But if the tribe passes a law on land use it has authority to do, that would apply to everyone living on the land in question, not just tribe members.

The most hilarious thing about Kingpoleon's statement is there are actually many Reservations that are majority white, and some that are basically Reservations In Name Only.

Yeah, there are times ive seen interviews with "Indians" with names like James Sawczynski, Carl Schneider, and Patrick O'Connell. Isnt it you can call yourself an Indian and join a tribe if you have like 1% indian blood?

That's not what I was talking about at all.
