> Most US Indians do not live on reservation for good reasons, and because they are assimilated into America. You would know that if you were an American.

That’s funny... are you a comedian?

Because clearly you don’t know much about history, law, or the value of distinct human cultures. But, hey, you do seem to have a proclivity for more piggly wigglies. You are redeemed, cave pal! Keep that cave fire lit!

You can read the following article about how America dealt with California Indians:

By the way I am 3rd/4th generation American. You make assumptions...

Sounds like Gruesome Newsom is trying to make Cauliphonya “sacred” again one giant piece of land at a time.

They’ll be taking it away from Jose’, Jesus and Chuy.

Would be better to give them the hoods. They will have it cleaned up in no time. Indians vs Hood Rats.

Well, if you do not know that most US Indians live off reservation, you are clearly uninformed, and as usual trolling.

The Indians lost, get over it.

The rest of your comment is drivel as usual.

We do...we get a cut of their take. That’s the terms of permitting gambling.

They already have sovereignty, since all tribes claim to have been “created” here.

I see. They are independently governed entities. Separate from US control.

Why are they allowed to vote in external to tribal lands elections?

We are the natives now! This government is giving our homes away! This is real and it’s destroying lives!

Yep, the headline could just as easily, and accurately as well, read...

California throws 2820 acres back into stone age.

“who did the Shasta’s take it from? Will they now give it back to them?”

It was a complete genocide so nobody knows.

Half measures never work.

In my experience, some are proud of the fact that you can’t travel on their turf. They like to think they own the streets.

Since it is California, if the tribe can open a Casino and smoke shop in violation of State laws, why not open a gun store and sell items not allowed in the State of California! Semi-Auto As-s-s-ault rifles and 20-40 round magazines!

Or even items labeled “WARNING! This item is known in the State of California to cause birth defects and cancer!” which I see on lots of items I buy here.

Quinine? Anyone got malaria? After my open heart surgery the physicians put me on Quinidex, a drivative of Quinine. It messed me up real bad till they took me off of it. Halucinations! abdominal pains! Not good stuff!

You would be causing some wailing and gnashing of teeth if that were to happen. The Gov may have a coronary.

probably the (former) lake bottom land.

Now 20 feet deep or more in run off sediments to include boats, bodies, machinery, etc - anything that can be thrown, dropped, pushed, driven into a body of water.

Their Rights are enshrined in the body of the Constitution, ours are afterthought amendments. They have all the rights in the Amendments plus their own which we co not have. There are tribal members which can be appointed by the Tribe as Special Masters, who can tell you what you can and cannot do on ‘your’ land - that in addition to any EPA rules or Signed Treaties with the tribe; they are our “betters in law”. We are back of the bus - white, Asian, black, brown.

Settle down and suck it up, as millions have been forced to do. Unless you have wealth equaling the US Treasury - which the Tribes draw from in their court cases. Even if you manage to win all the way through SCOTUS, they will find some lower court to overturn SCOTUS, so you would have more millions to take in it to SCOTUS again, presuming you and your then-current, high priced law firm have not died of old age by then.
