Was it theirs to cede? Didn't they take it from the native peoples who were already living there? Is it acceptable because the lands were taken by force?

No, it's the same question. One is considered settled law, one isn't.

Land belongs to whomever committed the most recent genocide?

Should we all get DNA testing for quanta followed by deportation to whichever nation we're most related to?

If you mean established and reviewed U.S. law, then yes the comparison is apt. Until someone can bring a challenge before the Supreme Court then it is settled U.S. law, just like South Carolina's ceded territory (a.k.a Tennessee)

Are there any police at Saddle Road/MK intersection?

Edit grammar.

Yes, mainly DOCARE officers. They are generally stationed at the police checkpoint at the cattle guard which is a little farther up the access road from the protesters' encampment.
