Native American tribes have had their land stolen from them and received little or no compensation for hundreds of years. They've been completely exterminated from many parts of their former traditional lands. On Saturday, poorly regulated injection wells near Pawnee, Oklahoma, induced a huge, 5.8 magnitude earthquake. The state stepped in, thanks to immense embarrassment to them caused by Native American and supporting activists, and are closing 37 fracking waste disposal sites on the Pawnee Nation's reservation. The rez was bought by them from the Cherokees in 1866 after the U.S Government evicted the Pawnee from Nebraska. The U.S. had previously evicted the Cherokees from Georgia and caused the death of thousands on a forced march, once again took their land.  Just northeast, on the Osage reservation, 17 wells are being shut down if the Bureau of Indian Affairs can finally get its act together to protect them from the oil and gas industry. Don't hold your breath waiting, though.
