Does this Supreme Court decision have any bearing on Mason Fine and his family??

The Supreme Court said Thursday that a large swath of eastern Oklahoma remains an American Indian reservation, a decision with potential implications for nearly 2 million residents and one of the most significant victories for tribal rights in years.

The land at issue contains much of Tulsa, the state’s second-largest city. The question for the court was whether Congress officially eliminated the Muscogee (Creek) Nation reservation when Oklahoma became a state in 1907.

Yes. It means that when Mason becomes Chief of the Cherokee nation, he will also become Governor of the state of Oklahoma.
