I would say no.

I would too, but it's not clear to me exactly what the issue here is.

Tribal leaders ready for Obama meeting. Apparently Bill Bradley suggested we return 1.3 million acres of federal land to the tribes back in the early 80s.

In the mid-1980s, New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bill Bradley proposed that the U.S. government return 1.3 million acres of federal forests and unoccupied park lands in the Black Hills. The idea went nowhere with Congress, but Obama's overture in Sioux Falls has created a renewed optimism.

They still have to wait their turn in line after General McCrystal.

The Black Hills are still legally theirs, by legal treaty.

Typical, illegal machinations by the gov't doesn't change that.

Indeed, MUCH more land, from the Canadian border to the southern, sill legally belong to the Native Americans - by our own treaties and Supreme Court rulings.

Not that they are honored by dishonorable politicians.

And now the gov't owns hundreds of thousands of peoples homes across America - through forced bank loans and Fanny and Freddie - Loans people couldn't really afford. They they - the gov't - deliberately deep sixes the economy - tens of thousands of homes go into bankruptcy and the so-called stimulus bill was supposed to avoid that. Guess what. None of that money went for that. Now the gov't owns the mortgages - which they will now take over and they are planning on letting the people RENT their houses from the gov't. Results, the go'vt is about to become the biggest landlord in the country. This has been the plan all along.

Do you think all those homes will EVER go back to private ownership? Hint: Under Marxism, the gov't owns everything.

i.e., we are all about to experience what the Native Americans have.

Enjoy your serfdom.

Don’t speak so quickly. We may want to move there someday.
