It would have been far more useful if this episode had explained the governance of tribal lands rather than harping on victimhood and misrepresentation. Saying what is untrue does not indicate what is true, nor does it describe the governance structures that are not mischaracterized. I'm listening to this podcast precisely because I'm concerned about the historical and on-going mistreatment of American Indians, the abbrogation of treaties by the U.S., etc. However, the series seems bogged down with a self-pitying tone while upbraiding outsiders for portraying American Indians as victims. (Which is it?) Stick to facts and educate rather than constantly slathering every issue with self-righteous, bitter melancholy. Moreover, some of the claims and explanations are unnecessarily inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.
