I must be stupid or something, but are not the Indian Reservations their own Nations? I realize that we mostly pay their way because we owe it to them, but how is it they are sovereign nations and still vote in our elections?

No, the concept of their "sovereignty" is stupid. They use our currency, vote in our elections, and we support them with our tax dollars. What's sovereign about that?

Also, why do we owe them? This has been going on for 150 years. Is there no expiration date? No-one alive today was involved in the events that transpired that lead to this situation. At some point we have to cut the umbilicus.

My pointS exactly. Same is sayable about our other “we owes em” culture.

Does our Christian compassion and generosity make us ignorant to the reality of other peoples? Something sure seems to.
