Sirens, tribes, and a warning from Nevada to Kansas
The article recalls Nevada's historic town siren used to warn Indians to leave by sundown, a 1908 ordinance changed in 1917 and repealed in 1974. In 2006 Washoe tribal leaders and county officials ended the practice. It highlights the tribe's economic impact, with Headstart programs and over 72 million dollars in annual contributions. The piece argues for respectful cooperation between tribal and state governments and urges Kansas voters to question leaders on such partnerships. Tom Beaver, Muscogee Nation, notes on evolving views.
