Maybe they should tax the government for the years we have been on this land?
Yes i do believe the past is the past, but you LEARN from the past so that we dont repeat the past mistakes. Its like the government saying, well the slave trade turned out very profitable, so we are going to bring that back, sure it sucked for some people but that doesnt affect us.
And yes the government DOES get a LOT of money from the reservations and casinos. they dont have to pay the government shit but they do.
I have no indian blood, but my son is 1/4 indian, and my fiance is 1/2. Regardless of what you hear on the news about tribes like the Red Lake band, not all reservations are filled with corruption. They just want to live in peace and not have the government dumping a bunch of shit on their SACRED Grounds. The Yucca Mountain is considered to be VERY sacred to that tribe, and this should be respected. Is it not horrible enough that the American Government has already destroyed every treaty ever made with the indian people that they need to take more from them. C'mon. At least Obama sees this and is trying his hardest to let them keep their land. Unfortunatly other people such as yourselves want to take everything for themselves and not let a nation of people have their own land.
