Yes, that's exactly my point...maybe if Indians as a group stood up for the parts of the Constitution that don't directly affect their pocketbooks, they'd get a little more sympathy for the state of their treaty rights.

But they don't, so it appears as if the only concern that Indians have for the Constitution revolves around MONEY, and most people don't have a lot of respect for such an unprincipled stance.

Bulls**t. The states have been trying to destroy treaty rights for over 100 years - all easily documented and verifiable. So that doesn't fly. Nice try, though.

You sure make a lot of assumptions, and they all appear to be based on ignorance and hatred. It doesn't revolve around money, it revolves around survival of a people. But, you wouldn't understand. AS I said: Ignorance.
