NPOV

The statements "...Many of the people still care for this land. Numerous Cheyenne work as foresters, fire fighters and Emergency medical services employees, to help save the land they have left" do not at all seem authentic or neutral. Furthermore, the image is not relative to the topic, and seems to be more about anti-Native American sediments than the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation.

I agree that the phrasing is bad, however it could be rewritten such as

"the people of this reservation are very active in the local community, contributing numerous foresters, fire fighters and emergency medical services employees" - of course it would be nice to get a citation too of this fact.

I believe that the wording, not so much the content, as it is now is still in need of copy editing. I may attempt to do this shortly but will post it here first so that we may discuss it. How does that sound? Shyncat (talk) 17:06, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

off-reservation trust lands

Okay, so this goes all the way back to 2006 when a 23:45, 12 October 2006‎ edit by Backspace added "There are small parcels of non-contiguous off-reservation trust lands in Meade County, South Dakota, northeast of the city of Sturgis."

This is not sourced, and boy, was that a bitch to find. But here's a page with links to PDFs for each reservation's 2000 census map: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/virtual_disk_library/index.cgi/5678548/FID1724/aianhh_html/airf.htm. The specific PDF URL is http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/virtual_disk_library/index.cgi/5678548/FID1724/aianhh_pdf_files/airf/cbn2490.pdf

According to this file, Northern Cheyenne has LOTS of "small parcels of non-contiguous off-reservation trust lands", and certainly not only northeast of Sturgis. There are four such entities in Meade County: 1047, 1049, 1052 and for some reason 1053 east of 133rd Ave is separate. But there's a cluster of six of them in "Little Missouri CCD". Just south of the main rez, there's two parts labeled Ashland CCD. Further south, still north of the Wyoming border, there's two bits labeled Tongue River CCD.

And that's just the bits specifically marked as off-reservation lands (or "Hawaiian Home Land", but that's probably not applicable here).

Google Maps gives instead seven "springs" south of the main rez when queried. Cheers. CapnZapp (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
