Throughout our history, our treatment of the Indians has been a stain on our nation's honor. That stain just got bigger and blacker.

If the tribes has actually been paid royalties as required, the Federal Government may very well have SAVED money..

The tribes could have financed all of their own schools, provided jobs and small business loans, housing mortgages, ad infinitum..
They could have enjoyed a measure of soveriegnty and financial independence that might have fostered a truly different social outcome today..

I almost think this was done to insure their dependence on federal and state aid which of course, fortifies the welfare dependence mindset..
Liberal tools..
