I’m sure the school board could have come to an agreement as they closed the schools she had used for the clothing lines and sold the properties off. Haven’t seen anything the board was trying to sell that she infringed upon.

Time for the various tribes to step up and support their people whether on reserve or off.It’s become obvious that they receive more money than the number of people actually on the individual reserves.
