Do we realize how scared those twelve men had to have been to have screamed out as they began to think they were seeing a ghost near them walking on the water?  Those who were fishermen knew they’d never seen a man walking on the water like they saw one out in the middle of the water, in the rough sea, or at least thought they were seeing one.  All of them had cried out in fear.

The ability to banish or exclude people from our lands “is an inherent and essential part of Tribal sovereignty. It is indispensable to the Tribe’s autonomy and self-governance.” Sounds serious to our government.
