Small parcels of formerly Reservation land.

An 8-hour work day for all workers.
When you gather the most trustworthy sources to answer a particular question, you are doing this.
Sourcing.
This is the rule in Mr. Elk's class that is broken the most often, on average.

J.D. Cameron's quote "The discovery of gold...did not cause this (battle)" and Kate Bighead's quote "When gold was discovered, we were moved again." are an example of this.
Strong Corroboration.
