Amazing how people misunderstand Native law so much in this country. The court case didn't curtail native sovereignty. It allows states and the feds to prosecute NON NATIVES who commit crime on native land. The DOJ has refused to charge violence non Natives committing crimes on Native land in over 60% of the cases. The SCOTUS case involved a violent offender who got a ~20 year state prison sentence. He then went to the feds to overturn the case and got way less time (<5 years).
So natives WANT states to have concurrent jursidiction over non natives commiting crimes at native land.

So it actually protects the native population. Good.
