"They are NOT part of the US or Canada, they have their own sovereign nation and should be recognized and accepted as such!"

Ok. Like I said, if they want to be a separate nation, then be a seperate nation, with all that entails. Some (perhaps even the majority) people in foreign countries wait months and years waiting for a visa for entry. If the Iroquis tribe wants to be a nation, they can't expect to be treated any differently than the other nations who don't have formalized relations or treaties with the UK.

There's an old saying that's probably appropriate here - be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

I get your point as this tribal visa business is part of the recent Balkanization effort on the part of the left but I think the Iroquois have had formalized relations and treaties with the UK long before the US ever did, before the French and Indian war. Of course, that was before anyone thought of the idea of flashing passports and getting your granny screened for smuggled fingernail clippers or undybombs at an international airport.
