I came out to manage a white person's farm a decade ago, now I am the whitey who owns the farm. Probably gonna give the property over/back to the confederated tribes when I die.
Wow, that sounds like quite the story. You can do... a hell of a lot of cool things from that position. I'm having my first go at sustenance farming in my city yard and it's definitely not what I expected. I am not competent to make any suggestions about how you should respond to the coming collapse, but I would definitely recommend you start keeping a diary if you don't already. Not keeping a diary is my second-biggest regret in life, the first being that I never learned how to make music.
Different reservations have different laws. Where I am whites can own property but most of the uncultivated land (mountains, forests) and some of the ranch/farmland is owned by the tribes.
So how did you end up on the rez? Marriage?
E: Obviously if you don't want to answer that's cool, it is a bit of a personal question.
