The real elephant in the contest multiplier room is DXCC!  If every tiny 
politically-independent “entity” can be a separate DXCC (Mt Athos, Vatican, 
Sovereign Military Order of Malta, etc.), then the hundreds of Native American 
sovereign and independent tribes should be separate entities.  How many are 
there, you ask?…. 573!!  

Thus spake Google…

“Tribal nations possess inherent sovereignty, meaning they have the right to 
govern themselves and their members, manage their affairs, and develop their 
own laws and governance structures. This inherent authority predates the United 
States and is distinct from state or local governments.”

Whether they’ll require a special radio  license is a question…perhaps a CW 
test in which the text to be copied describes the genocidal history of American 
policy toward them? 

To paraphrase the old adage, “Go west, young ham.”
