eta: huh. I thought you might find this interesting:
"In 1916, the Supreme Court in the case of the United States v. Quiver, 241 U.S.602 decided that two Sioux Indians committing adultery on an Indian reservation were not subject to prosecution, since questions involving domestic relations and sex crimes have always been left to tribal customs and laws. The courts recognize the validity of Indian custom marriage, divorce and adoption between members of a tribe living on a reservation even if the marriage is polygamous."

Ahh, Google. Somewhere, Not Me is furiously scanning through a google cache, griping like the fat loan officer in the DiTech commercials.
I'll leave the likelihood of physical resemblance between NM and the loan officer as an open question for the board to pnder.
