The Indians may end up with all the land back, after all.

That would be ironic wouldn't it? The government wants to renege on every promise made to the Indians. The sovereignty of Indian lands has been on-going since they are starting to make a little money. Its all about the money.

No Bob, they are not making a "little money." These tribes are making millions by NOT having to obey the laws that other Washington businesses are saddled with. I do not begrudge Indians $ for gambling - IF other businesses are allowed the same. But other businesses are not allowed to do as the Indians do. That is a two-class system and will tear down the country. Remember the Bible, A house divided cannot stand. Two systems, as in Canada, are bringing them down, not making them stronger. Unfair is unfair. A new unfairness cannot "make up" for a previous/historical unfairness. It only sets the stage for conflict. IMHO
