Topic: Crack house business on an Indian Reservation?

Anonymous A started this discussion 13 years ago #25,145

Up until 1885, American Indian reservations are sovereign with completely their own laws independent of state and federal affairs.

According to this act passed in 1885, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_Crimes_Act , there are seven laws regulated by the federal gov't.

HOWEVER, opening and operating a crackhouse is not one of them.


What do you guys say I open up a business in one of these reservations for Americans to visit and get fucked up?

Why would someone willingly go to smoke crack, people only do that because they can't afford real cocaine.

Because even on wiki it says that that act only counts when a native american does it to a native american and it doesn't say if it was superceded by subsequent legislation which it probably would seeing as it was passed like 130 years ago

Yeah, and if you own the land it's subject to state and federal laws. Also most indian reservations use the defacto state laws.

Even if yoy were an indian and owned land on your tribes reservation you wouldn't be able to do this. Cite: the prevalence for the arrest of meth dealers and cooks on indian land.

Meth is actually quite the plight for many native american tribes, they often live at or near poverty and are lack many services offered by even moderately sized cities, which is why cooking meth or selling drugs on reservations may go undetected for a long time.

However, trying to call any attention to it at all would invite arrest.

some of the tribes that signed treaties with the US have created their own constitutions over the last 130 years.
also individual tribes had their own treaties each with their own terms and conditions.
native americans were granted sovereignty, but not autonomy from the union.
like any sovereign state of the union, indian reservations are subject to federal law.

if you are an indian and you are on indian land, if you break a federal law, they will come after you.
no doubt.

for example, the use of illegal drugs like mescaline or peyote is allowed on the condition that it be part of a cultural or religious ceremony.
it's not allowed "just because" it's on your land.

data centers hosting pirated materials don't operate off of indian land because it's a federal crime to distribute copyrighted materials.

Ketsup fact that may that is may upset a few? Ketsup is NOT an American invention nor was it even made with Tomatoes at the GetGo

"Pickled fish sauce made of anchovies, walnuts, mushrooms and kidney beans, dating back thousands of years was called ke-tsiap or kecap and was popular in 17th-century China."

Ketchup History

"Ketchup or Catsup? Indonesian and Asian culture invented what we know today as ketchup. The spicy, pickled fish sauce made of anchovies, walnuts, mushrooms and kidney beans, dating back thousands of years was called ke-tsiap or kecap and was popular in 17th-century China. British seamen brought ke-tsiap home with them where the name was changed to catchup and then finally ketchup. It wasn't until the late 1700s though that canny New Englanders added tomatoes to the blend.

Henry J. Heinz began making ketchup in 1876 but he was neither the inventor nor the first to bottle it. His recipe remains the same to this day."
