I have less of a problem with reparations than I do sovereignty.

Sovereignty too often turns into a license for the chiefs to commit acts against their own people that would get anyone else thrown in prison for a long time, while at the same time demanding the same rights as the rest of us.

I agree there are a lot of such political problems on reservations - the question, however, is what do the signed treaties provide for?
