>>The nearly 10,000-acre patch of land located near El Reno in western Oklahoma has been under federal government control since the 1800s and was once used for military purposes.

But for decades, the federally recognized Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes have fought for the land to be transferred back to them.<<
