...might make obtaining clear title an issue. Plus, I'm not sure you could force sovereign tribes to sell.

oh yeah yeah I getcha. title will be a huge mess. That doesn't mean it shouldn't or couldn't be done, but I understand your point.

This is all quite beyond the point anyway, all you need is a contract for a ROW agreement.

Word. I don't know the lingo, I am just proposing that nobody should be doing anything on another person's land without express consent or contract. legal ROW works for me.

Actually it started out as the possibility that malfunctions in the pipeline could harm private land north of Bismark, as well as drinking water supplies for the city of Bismark, in the future.

As per usual, when people didn't want it in their backyard, they re-routed it to the Indian's backyard. Why was it so easy to get the pipeline rerouted the first time, but so impossible the second?

Haha. Yeah I dunno man, Indian land is pretty well protected. that may very well he the case that they want to put the potential problems off on the indians. if so, that's kinda weak sauce, but It is not as if they are damaging indian land. Niw, if they try to weasel out of damages? Hammer that arse.
