Via DuluthNewsTrib: Red Lake Tribal Council declares lands ‘wolf sanctuary’
the Red Lake Tribal Council voted to adopt a management plan that designates more than 843,000 acres of tribal lands in eight Minnesota counties as a “wolf sanctuary.” The band Wednesday issued a news release saying tribal laws will supersede state laws.Which reminds me of a tribe in South Dakota offering access to safe abortions in the event the state banned them.
The sovereignty of the tribal areas really isn't disputed from what I can tell; unlike the sovereignty of the States. Tea Partiers are of the opinion that the sovereignty of the States is being infringed and so the "real America" has the right to secede. Yet, when the states exercise their sovereignty in ways the Tea Partiers disagree with then they are for federal control. Two examples are Republicans being unhappy with state-level medical marijuana and domestic partnership laws.
