I saw this comic and I became curious if there has been someone who made a good faith attempt at what she argues. I know it's a joke, but maybe an eccentric rich person or particularly hardline activist might have taken the notion at face value.
I can tell you from my perspective, that no, no one has tried. In my town there is a big mining corp. who came here when all of the city, out lying areas and quite a distance out was all reservation. A few hundred years later, we are still fighting for the treaty money which was promised to us when we gave up a majority of the reservation.
