"all constitutionally-guaranteed and unbreakable. Deal with it."
Right, just like the fourth amendment, the second amendment, etc. Unbreakable!
And I didn't write the bit about the teepees. I'm perfectly aware that many indians lived in hogans, longhouses, earthen houses, etc. The point that the poster who pointed out the bit about the teepees was trying to make was that "tribal sovereignty" is not about keeping traditional ways of life, it's just a money grab. And you've posted nothing in an attempt to refute that, so we're all just assuming that it's true, and that your response amounts to, "Yeah, so what; we bargained for the money grab 200 years ago, so "deal with it." We deserve special treatment."
It's all about the money. Tribal sovereignty is just a smoke screen.

But it's NOT about the money - money is merely a tool in order to make our own way in life. If you can name some other industry that will provide an economy in our nations, then please feel free to say so.
Until then, my people will do whatever it takes to ensure economic well-being and independence.
Now, with regard to the constitution and it's unbreakable tenets, that is a battle we are ALL fighting, indians, whites, blacks etc... We are ALL effected by it, and we are all fighting the same battle. So, open your eyes and SEE that. It's not hard.
