Pipeline company failed to pay off the tribes. Why be such ass holes?
The real problem is low demand for piped oil. But the pay off could be proportional to flow and fix that problem. The Native Americans are here. long before us, and their property rights have power still. If the land was stolen, then the new property owners have limited claim. The strengthening of property right involve paying off the Natives.
Trying to dodge the issue just creates turmoil in the small interior states, makes their own existence precarious. Nothing protects property rights more than a contract between the claimants. When property rights are uncertain, the philosophers begin making trouble. The last thing small states need is an outbreak of contradicting philosophies.
