When will the poor taxpaying working stiff be recognized?
After we restore our constitutional republic, bgill.

While I agree, the last Olympics in Canada pretty much telegraphed where this is all headed. IMO
I actually like American Indian traditions to a point. I’m not willing to capitulate on the alter of the U. N. and other P. C. groups to surrender my traditions.
Frankly, that’s what our existence is all about these days.
This S needs to stop. A bit off the subject, but this is a serious matter.

apparently you have not read your US history. There are multiple treaties that were signed and approved that say otherwise I would not advocate breaking our treaties.
Even though what you say is true for some Indian tribes, it is not true for this one.

Calm your fears. There won't be any relocation of Indian tribes to reservations. The Lumbees have long had strong political savvy, and they won't leave their homeland. Since a number of Lumbees walked into a Ku Klux Klan rally in the 1950s wielding shotguns and pitchforks and caused considerable spontaneous urination in the trousers of the rallying Kluxers, the Lumbees have shown they will stand their ground.
Besides, only a few Freepers would really want the government to try to take the homelands of the Lumbees and other tribes. (You can find their designations on this thread.)

They have no claim to any US soil, they lost. Get over it.Most Reservations were established as the result of treaty arrangements. While it can be argued they lost, the treaties were peace treaties agreed to by Tribal representatives and representatives of the US Government. Often these arrangements were in lieu of armed conflict.
Not every Tribe got the same deal, not every tribe engaged the US in warfare, but the claim to that soil was established (or supposedly maintained) by treaty..
