#1 Good for the tribe. Bad for the people who need this oil to live normal lives.
Maybe, just maybe, old Will knew something we forgot?

#3 If only there was another way of moving the stuff. Say like pipelines. Try to get one of those built today.

The past presidents and responsible board members should face $$$ responsibilities for blowing off the tribe and playing the 'go sue me' game as a trade off.

#10 Ahh Besoeker, from Wikipedia: Juneteenth (yes spelled as one word)

Juneteenth, officially Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States. The holiday's name is a portmanteau of the words "June" and "nineteenth", as it was on June 19, 1865, when Major General Gordon Granger ordered the final enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation in Texas at the end of the American Civil War.[8][9] Although this date commemorates enslaved people learning of their freedom under the Emancipation Proclamation, this only applied to former Confederate states. There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union. These people did not gain their freedom until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution on December 6, 1865."

#11 There remained legally enslaved people in states that never seceded from the Union.

See - Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky

The concept started with a Union general who proclaimed all slaves in his area of authority were to be treated as wartime contraband.
