Members of the Cherokee Nation of native Americans have voted to revoke tribal citizenship for descendants of black slaves the Cherokees once owned.

So these guys really are the aboriginal rednecks!

A total of 76.6% voted to amend the tribal constitution to limit citizenship to "blood" tribe members.

Yes, but what about descendants of children produced by Indians and the slaves? If the Cherokee nation is to detemine what constitutes purity, they're going to be in huge trouble if they ever hope to use any kind of objective criteria. It looks to me that these former slaves of Indians could stand, via reparations, to make a real killing off the lucrative casino industry.

How? They will have to sue a sovereign nation.
Can you sue another nation because they kicked you out?
