In September 2022, the Oglala Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes in South Dakota had to pay $500,000 to secure land around the site of the Battle of Wounded Knee, where more than 200 Native Americans were massacred by the US army in 1890. The family that owned the property sought close to $4m though it had been assessed at just $14,000.

Greedy, asshole move by the present landowners.
Native Americans make up just 2% of Ohio’s population – about 35,000 people, according to the US Census Bureau.

Stopped reading after that. Ohio's Population is almost 12 Million.
