While I feel the lady has the right to live however she chooses, she doesn't have the right to live on a protected reserve area and I feel she should be charged.
It would be the same for you and I, if she wants to live the 'simple' life, buy some property of her own that has safe drinking water and a bathroom instead of polluting what appears to be a national reserve area.

She is living on the reserve illegally. This is a tough one to call IMO. If she honestly believed she was on land she could be on, then I think she shouldn't be charged. Otherwise, I'm not sure.

Simple life?? She had more than a couple knick knack type things. I was expecting more along the lines of how the Indians lived.

It was a radical act. I respect that.
I think if "they" let people drop out of society and make whatever dwellings they could manage outdoors, a lot of people would do so. Participation in this economy is more or less compulsory. As it stands now, if you want the simple life, you have to buy your way out of the system. But there are many people who cannot work, whether it is for health reasons or something else, or who have no access to a job which will allow them to save money. Barbara Ehrenreich's NICKEL AND DIMED is a great book on this topic.
It's funny -- a lot of people who "return to the land" don't live off of the land they've returned to. I remember reading that Ted Kaczynski, aka the Unabomber, lived off tinned vegetables. Of course, living off the land for real is no easy task; I'm reminded of the book INTO THE WILD by Jon Krakauer. It was the story of a young man who apparently starved to death while trying to live off the land in Alaska. A very deep and wonderful book.
