/\ i was waiting to see what you'd say. i knew it would be different somehow.

I don't understand what sovereign nation really means. Doesn't that mean you stop sucking on the fucking teats of the US govt? Then I'm all for it!
Does it mean that we support them forever? Get an education & go forth in the work place mo fos. Religious freedom plus sovereign nation status does not = you get to sit round the rez collecting govt. checks, free medicine, food stamps from ANOTHER nation just because you'd rather raise a few buffalo and bitch about lifes unfairness. Get a fucking job!
Does it mean a set of double standards as in my community where there are 3 casinos (2 w/ hotels) run by one tribe & yet they are the biggest draw on our welfare system here?

the govt. made the rules. its treaties which are supposed to be honored above all other laws. if we actually end up keeping a couple that don't work out so good for the dominate classes so be it, i can live with that.
if someone wants to sit around the rez and waste their lives its their life. if someone wants to live on the rez and make their life really work to full potential that cool too. hell there are indians who don't even know they are indians. there are whites who are more indians than some indians and indians who are more white than white people. i guess i can just think of worse ways that we spend money besides helping out our native brothers and sisters.
it sure is more interesting when everyone doesn't agree 8-)
