POLL: Native Americans Growing Hemp: Sovereignty Collides With Government

[Frog]

Jackson is despised among the tribes because of the Trail of Tears.

When the Cherokee were sent to live in Oklahoma.

I hate to sound evil, but segregation is not a solution to current or future social problems, for anyone. You can argue we did the same thing to many races over the years in one form or another. Everyone should have basic human rights as described in the constitution. If we focus on that, and honor thier culture as much as we honor any other culture in this country, half of this wouldn't even be an issue.

If we continue on this path, there will be no more native americans left. We gave 1% of them the wealth of gambling, 1% the wealth of massive coal leases, and 98% of them all the alcohol they can drink. Certain destruction for any society.

Hemp should be a legal crop everywhere. Period.

It would not suprise me one bit if any or all of the information in our textbooks was wrong or simply left out when it came to the American Indians. I simply argue that we cannot all be free until we all demand to be free. Only united are we strong enough to overcome the odds against us.

If the tribes continue to be lured by capitalism and carrots, the once great nation will continue to fall to the drugs that have been given to kill them, hoplessness and alcohol. I would grant statehood to any Native American tribes still living on tribal land, in a heartbeat.

[Boss]

I will have to actually find out what tribe I am from, all I was told was American Indian :-)

[Boss]

I would be very interested in reading anything on the history of traditional agriculture, hemp included :-)

Thanks 'Man...I should have tested that link.

Oppressed people more than conquered.

[Herb Fellow]

The reservations I have been to in NM seemed pretty oppressed to me. No offense intended. Now back to the subject at hand, what were/are the Native Americans uses of hemp?

If the Native American Nations (or any other "Indian Nations) can have their own laws outside the national govt. I think they should be free to grow or produce what the Hell the please.
