>>513598414Elias Boudinot. A prominent early attorney in Oklahoma history. His uncle was selling tobacco across state lines without paying any tax.
As to his family being murdered as traitors, that's straight native lore I heard after bringing him up in conversation.
Railroads wanted access to Indian territory but didn't want to negotiate with individual Tribes. Along comes the Boudinot's and their revenue'rs problem. Goes all the way to the supreme court, and viola, Tribal treaties no longer mean shit. Hence, Boomer Sooner, free land mother fuckers and an insta-state.
Now, the stupid motherfuckers with their own sovereign status are too busy ripping each other off to ever complain.
