Great idea. If only we had to sense to do it. I'm sick of the is/not is "sovereign nation" game the tribes get to play. They are sovereign when it suits them especially the fraudulent gaming tribes like the Mashantucket Pequot in Connecticut. It's members are barely Indians (1/32 blood etc.) and were not even a federally recognized tribe 20 years ago. The "tribal members" cannot recount a lick of Mashantucket Pequot culture.

Now we come to agreement. How they got recognized was a farce, and an abuse of the system by people (Whites, for what that's worth) to cash in on what they saw as "special rights" for the indians.

The indians are not to blame for that. White people were. But, we agree about the so-called "pequot?"...
