There really aren't enough refs here to support an article, to be honest

There's no indication that "tomahawk rights" is a real thing. If it is, Google doesn't know about. There's only the one source, which is a couple of sentences of reminiscence by a frontiersman. Everything else is a mirror of this article. This is insufficient to establish existence of the term IMO, you'd need at least one other source, and a good one.

"Cabin rights" I also can't find anything on. Two refs are given; the first has a quote which seems to support the existance of the term but not the definition given in the article. I don't know what's in it at all. Maybe "cabin rights" is slightly more substantial.

Anyway, the one source for "tomahawk rights" talks about "deadening" trees. Which uh is killing them. I can't find a definition for the verb "deadening" in that sense, but there is a noun which defines a deadening as a forest clearing created by girdling some trees (stripping off the bark in a a full ring around the trunk, which causes them to wither and die). So all in all I assume that by "deadening" the writer meant "girdling". Herostratus (talk) 08:17, 7 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I can assure you that "tomahawk rights" is a real thing. I have encountered it in many sources, one of which I just edited in. Valerius Tygart (talk) 16:33, 4 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
