This episode seems to shift the focus of the series. It's not clear how the legal questions related to the USSC case are relevant to these land-use issues. First, it's not clear how the anticipated ruling would affect these land-use issues. (In fact, the insinuation that it would seems to contribute to myths you've previously derided about the purview of tribal governance.) Second, the issues being discussed seem generally associated with land-use, zoning, NIMBY-ism, the legitimacy of community-based controls on development, environmental protections, etc.--all of which seem to make the local concerns sound just like concerns in any other community.
