The Court ruled that Congress granted a reservation in present-day Oklahoma to the Creek Nation by treaty in the 19th century. Despite breaking most of its promises to the Creek over the years, Congress never formally took away the reservation.

The issue in this case was whether a large swath of land in NE Oklahoma qualifies as “Indian Country” for purposes of federal criminal law. Only the federal government can prosecute “major crimes” committed by Native Americans on tribal land. The state has no authority.

Justice Gorsuch wrote the opinion, joined by Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Chief Justice Roberts wrote a dissenting opinion, joined by Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas. Justice Thomas also wrote his own dissent.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled about half of Oklahoma is part of a Native American reservation, based on a historical claim from the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. It is the first time much of eastern Oklahoma is legally considered "Indian country."
