Totally misread the question about the tribal reservation. Thought it was saying the area was bigger than 10 states combined. I got the answer anyway, but my mind was blown by that stat...probably because I was reading it wrong.

I did the same thing, but I've been reading the Tony Hillerman book series (Leaphorn and Chee) and I figured it couldn't be any other tribe. They consider their homeland - dine'tah - much bigger, but they signed a treaty after Bosque Redondo for a smaller area which has been added to through the years, but it will never again include all four of their sacred peaks.
