I will review this article. -- Cirt (talk) 19:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since Cirt has went inactive based on recent edits, I'll take over this GA review. I'll take a look at the article this weekend. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 06:31, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"remains the crux the modern Indian land claim litigation." missing a word.
""The first reported American court decision holding that unsold Indian land was owned by the government, subject only to the lesser right of 'possession' or 'occupancy' held by Indians"" It's not clear as to who or what this quote is attributed to. Namely, is that from the case itself, a person, or a scholarly work on the subject?

Just a couple small things. I'll put the article on hold and pass it when they're fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:26, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reviewing the article. I hope my recent edits have resolve your queries. Savidan 19:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That looks good. I have no other concerns, so I'll pass the article as a GA. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:21, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification re: Dicta[edit]

> the remarks of the Court on aboriginal title during this period are dicta.[1]

Could this be clarified? Per my layman's reading this means that although the remarks are considered authoritative, they are not legally binding. Is this accurate?
