A new investigation by HCN and Grist (npub1pzp…etfp) reveals how much tribal reservation land is actually owned by states.
On the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe’s reservation in #Minnesota, for example, the tribe owns only about 5% of the reservation, the state owns about 17%. There’s a whole ass database about this now so you can look up your rez and see where state owned parcels are, and what the state uses them for.
