Well...

The comment about "I can't see how the NAC would say no" to ceding the
USA is... strange, to say the least. 

Put it like this: How would the current US government react if, during
WWII, all of a sudden the (well-armed and numerous) descendants of
Sitting Bull turned up out of nowhere and demanded that all the Plains
states be immediately turned over to them, or else...? The situation is
a very close analogue to your storyline.
