Regardless any injustice over taxes, why should American aborigines get any special dispensation from what others must pay? Because they're a "sovereign nation"?

What nonsense.

American aboriginals have rights which are rooted in three centuries worth of treaties.

That was the price our forebears paid for the use of and expansion into their lands. Now you want to sweep all that under the rug?

Cause we killed them all and took their land and feel guilty about it.

Not really. The U.S. signed the treaty. If you want that reversed, vote for Senators with the backbone (there's an oxymoron) to cancel or revise the treaty. Don't hold your breath.
