Luckily, the Brown Bear Tribe has been independent for more than two hundred years!

Therefore, if it is done properly, from a legal point of view, it should still be possible to apply for an independent reserved land!

After weighing and judging in his heart, Austin looked up at the eagle with burning eyes. Then, slowly, with clarity and clarity, he explained his entire thoughts to the deputy chief of the Brown Bear Tribe.

The eagle listened, and his eyes began to light up.

After listening to the whole idea, he began to eagerly ask how the idea should be operated and executed, and how the brown bear tribe should act according to his plan.

"First of all—" Austin chuckled, "you're going to convince your old chief that he can support our plan!" When the word "we" was spoken, Austin's tone was deliberately aggravated.

After a pause, he continued: "Next—you're going to the Sioux tribe. As you said, all of you brown bear tribes will go to the Sioux to register their identity and ethnicity when they become adults. Since our plan is to secure an additional separate reserve land for your Brown Bear Tribe, it is important that you have the cooperation of the Sioux to separate your tribal ethnic files and materials and prove to you that you are only a temporary relationship and not an affiliation! ”

"Our brown bear tribe and the Sioux tribe are originally in a temporary relationship!" The eagle couldn't help but interject and shouted.

"Mr. Eagle, you have to be clear, when it comes to the final appellate court. It's not about saying it with your mouth, but you have to look at the facts and evidence! Austin's expression at this time was very stern: "Now all your ethnic registration files and materials are entrusted to the Sioux for safekeeping, once the Sioux do something to make trouble for you." Hehehe"

What was not said later, Austin chose to let the other party understand it himself.

The Eagle is an impatient. When he heard this, he immediately couldn't sit still: "Mr. Hercules, can you accompany me to meet the old chief now, and repeat all that you just said to the old chief!" As soon as he finished speaking, he had already hurriedly stood up, and looked at Austin's eyes urgently.

- It's done!

Austin looked at his wife beside him quietly, then nodded at the eagle with a smile, got up and patted the eagle's arm, and said, "I heard that your old chief's personality is more stubborn and conservative, and I am more worried now that all the ideas and plans we are talking about may not necessarily be supported by your old chief. ”

"Don't worry! As long as you are really willing to put out real money to support the development of our tribe. I'm sure I'll be able to convince our old chief! The eagle snapped his chest and shouted.

The eagle is not stupid, the phrase "real money", quietly laid out the basic conditions for cooperation.

"Let's go! Let's go to the old chieftain together! At this time, Pei Pei, who had been acting as a background board, spoke up.

So the three of them hurried out of the low hut and, led by the eagle, came to the old chief's earthen house.

The old chieftain, who was sitting in an open field outside the house, was doing carpentry work, and when he saw the eagle coming to him with his guests, he told his wife to come out with some stools. By the way, we will serve tea to guests.

As soon as the eagle sat down, he eagerly told the old chief all the ideas and plans that Austin had just told him. Then, he looked at the old chief with a blank eye, hoping to get a nod of approval from the old chief.

The old chieftain listened to all the retellings of the eagle. Instead of showing excitement and anticipation like the eagle, he calmly took out a pipe and slowly filled it with homemade tobacco. Then he lit his pipe and began to smoke "ba-ta-da-ta".

"I said the old chief. Don't just focus on smoking, you have to make a statement! Looking at the old chief's expression as if he was indifferent. The eagle couldn't help but ask.

The old chief threw a "don't be impatient" look at the eagle, and then he raised his eyes and met Austin's eyes.

This period of time may seem like a long time, but in reality it is only a dozen seconds.

Then, at last, the old chief was no longer silent—

"As far as I know, not all 'Indian reservations' are as rich as the Sioux! Most of the reserves are built on barren land that is deserted and far away from the hustle and bustle. In such a barren land, even if it is to build a hotel and open a gambling game, it is not so easy to prosper! The amount of money and the cost to be invested is even greater! ”

After exhaling a puff of smoke rings, the old chief continued in a heavy tone: "I thought about whether to apply to the government for an independent reserve more than ten years ago, and for this reason, I also visited many reserve areas of other ethnic groups to learn about the construction there and the lives of the people. But in fact, after learning about it, I learned that there are still very few prosperous and wealthy tribes like the Sioux! Most of the people of the reservation are thus confined to a fixed area, the land is barren and cannot be cultivated, hoping to get rich by attracting tourists, but it has never been able to develop because it is far away from the hustle and bustle! Life is not as good as ours! ”

The old chief's words were suddenly overwhelmed, and he seemed a little incredulous, and turned his head to look at Austin with eagerness and hesitation in his eyes, as if expecting Austin to make a powerful rebuttal.

In fact, Austin, who had done his research beforehand, was well aware of the original origin of the "Indian reservations" and the current reality of most of the reservations.

On the bright side, the "Indian Reservation" is a piece of land that the U.S. federal government compensates to the "indigenous Indians" of the Native Americans of North America for survival, and it is a "face project" for international public opinion!

But in reality, U.S. government officials initially focused on using the lands of these reservations to imprison and immobilize alternative "cells" for the Indians.

Originally, the Bureau of Indian-Affairs (BIA), an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), was also responsible for the reservation.

Later, after the Indians' long-term struggle for their own rights and interests, and the interests of some well-intentioned forces, the reservation area gradually evolved into a special product similar to "a state within a state" and a "state within a state".

In the reserve, there is an independent tribal government, which is the self-governing body of the Indians, enjoys a high degree of autonomy, is an independent system parallel to the state government, is not subordinate to each other, regardless of the size of the tribe, the number of people, all have the same power as the state government, with the right to formulate regional laws, formulate regional tax policies on their own, etc., is the actual sense of the state of the "state", the "state" of the state!

Admittedly, some of the old chieftains' words were true, but that was only the status quo of some of the geographically disadvantaged reservations. Of course, if this "part" is taken seriously, it should be more appropriately described by the word "most".

Those geographically advantageous Indian reservations, such as the Sioux, already had long-term cooperative forces, and the Heckles family would have missed the opportunity to intervene now and share a piece of the profits.

And those Indian reservations with congenitally poor geographical locations are the product of compromise that was abandoned in the first place (the old American government can't always divide an ideal piece of land for every reservation!). ）。 Therefore, from an investment point of view, the possibility of profit is too small!

Therefore, the most important reason why Austin is so interested in the name "Brown Bear Tribe" is that they have the legal right to appeal to the Independent Reserve, but they have not been able to fight for this corresponding right.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that it can just become the best time for some interested forces to intervene and operate!

Therefore, Austin's eyes met the old chief's gaze, and replied with a smile: "I listen to you, old chief, in fact, it wasn't that you didn't want to fight for a reserved land, but you were just worried that the government would be driven to remote barren land because of this, so you gave up fighting for the reserve with the government, and then took the whole tribe to hide in this deep mountain jungle, right?" ”

The old chief took a puff of his cigarette and smiled.

"If I'm just worried about this, I can promise you, Old Chief, that as long as the Brown Bear Tribe agrees to cooperate, with the family background of the Heckles family, then we will gather some other forces that are helpful to the plan, and everyone will participate in the plan together. All of this adds up to a reservation for your brown bear tribe to secure a piece of land in a good geographical location, and for all the interested forces involved in the project, it is like a delicious cake in front of these people, and everyone sits down to talk about how to distribute the profits, not whether the plan is feasible or not! Austin looked the old chief in the eye and spoke eloquently.

After saying these words, Austin chuckled, and then continued to the old chief with great frankness: "Please don't mind that my last sentence is so frank, because I am a businessman!" The first thing I look for is definitely the benefits! The reason why I, and all the stakeholders behind me, are willing to join this plan is nothing more than the huge benefits that will be brought by the success of the plan! (To be continued......)
