How later courts describe this case
- district court’s dismissal of indictment without prejudice, pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act, reviewed for abuse of discretion
- original treaty lands held by tribe under patented fee title were Indian Country even though site was not a “reservation” nor was fee title held by the United States in trust for the tribe
- "The State seems to believe that the Indian country status of the [reservation] rests on whether the exterior boundaries have been disestablished. It does not. ... Tribal lands, trust lands, and certain allotted lands generally remain Indian country despite disestablishment."
