&gt; Several Indian reservations in the US are also chequerboards fo squares, <br/>
<br/>
&gt; each 1 square mile. Like a chequerboard, the black squares belong to the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; natives, and the white squares to the whites... ironic, huh? ;-) See the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; area around Palm Springs especially.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& indeed we did look into this in subsequent messages<br/>
<br/>
  as many will recall<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
& i do intend to visit the area literally later this spring<br/>
<br/>
but are there any other specific examples of indian reservations doing this checkerboard thing that you may be aware of<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
the phenomenon may seem secondary or tertiary or even less important in normal terms<br/>
<br/>
but with claims of indian sovereignty growing louder everywhere<br/>
<br/>
our elite little club of 2 or 3 world class boundary crosses could actually be subject to explosive growth at any time<br/>
<br/>
so i think it behooves us to keep an eye out for indians<br/>
<br/>
just as we are keeping a lookout for new maritimes etc<br/>
