Yep. I actually DID know all about that stuff, and I didn’t have to research for a book.

Want to help the indians? Find some way to invalidate all the treaties and end the reservations. Start treating them just like all other Americans protected by the U.S. constitution - no better and no worse - and they’ll start improving.

But not until then.

My first client was a full blooded indian born in NY. She owned her own home in New York State....not on a reservation. She owned it the same way you or I would hold it.

She also owns a piece on a reservation in Canada by inheritance. Said she's never been there and she has no heir.

She works and pays taxes just like you or myself.

They are American citizens.

Nothing is stopping them from being successful except themselves.

Look at the steel walkers!!

Casinos is not the way....

Yes, if only there wasn’t a law requiring that Indians stay on the reservation ...oh, wait.
