Jones talks about “broken treaties” with N/A.

However, if it comes from the mouth of Van Jones, you know it’s suspect.

I agree on Jones.
But the Indians getting robbed really is true.

iirc it was during Dubya's 1st term that there was a Congressional Investigation into the Books of the Bureau of Indian affairs (or maybe Land Management?). Billions of dollars in royalties owed had just 'disappeared'. They showed the money coming in, but not going out - it just 'wasn't there' any longer due to accounting gimmicks.(1)

as to Jones: Van Jones is a prime example of the problem with Communists. They'll take one bit of truth and stretch it until the end doesn't resemble the beginning. BUT, it has that sliver of truth they hope make 'the masses' swallow the whole lie.

(1) And these weren't the 'made up' Indian Tribes who connive just to open a casino. It was the likes of the Sioux, Blackfeet, Crow, Cheyenne, etc. REAL Indian tribes of 'the old west'.
