There are many examples of stateless people in the world today. There are the Bidoon people in the Arab world who have been getting kicked around between Iraq and Kuwait. No one wants to take them in apparently many of them are completely undocumented and get by with what little work the can do under the circumstances. Also the Rohingya from Myanmar are a high profile modern example.
None of the stories of stateless people in the modern day are good. But if this ever happened to Indian sovereignty it would be such a disaster as to be a worst case scenario, not only for tribes but for the government. If the government did this they would be creating a massive refugee crisis and likely an insurgency movement within their own borders.

Yeah I mean it feels like basically asking for a genuine and widespread land back movement. If the average, not politically involved native american is suddenly no longer a US citizen, why wouldn't they support some kind of independence movement? It's next level stupid of the government if this is really the path they take
