(note: yes pastor is female - but let this discussion be about what was said - not who said it!)

Do that right exist at this location?

On an Indian reservation the first amendment act is not protected

AI Overview

Yes, the right to free speech is recognizable on Native American reservations, but it is not protected by the U.S. First Amendment. Instead, free speech on tribal lands is governed by tribal sovereignty and the Indian Civil Rights Act

She spoke freely, whatever her message was whatever words she used they didn't like and didn't want to hear. As noted below ---------

Yes, you can ask someone to leave your private property if you own or legally lease it, regardless of what they are saying, as long as they do not have a legal right to be there.


How Ownership and Rights Work

• Federal Trust Status: For federal reservations, the legal title (ownership on paper) belongs to the United States government, while the tribe holds the "beneficial title," meaning the tribe has the right to use, occupy, and govern the land.
• Tribal Autonomy: Even though the federal government holds the legal title, federally recognized tribes exercise sovereignty and self-governance over the land, operating their own tribal councils, courts, and police forces.


Jesus told his disciples if a town don't receive you leave that town and shake the Dust off your feet and that Sodom and Gomorrah stands a better chance in judgment Day than that down.
