I am aware of the Constitution, and the Treaties. But I still see a conflict between special status for the Indians and the Constitution.

Such special status would seem to be in conflict with other parts of the Constitution, such as the Equal Protection section.

Then I would suggest you take up your complaint with the Supreme Court. Indian tribes that have signed treaties with the United States are essentially no different than foreign nations that have signed treaties with the United States. BTW, the equal protection clause is set forth in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. As such, it would not override an article of the Constitution unless the amendment specifically set forth that it was overriding an article.
