I actually think that a settler taking things that were reserved for indigenous people is worthy of exposure.

I just feel like the opinion that matters most here would be that of this specific tribe and they claim she's one of theirs and I feel they're free to choose so.

If you're talking about grants money and stuff like that, I'm sure we can find the money spent on her and inject that into a new foundation or grant.
