Enforce the original intent of the treaties made with the Indians. Is that asking too much? Renegotiate if you don't like them.

Remember, the Indians are fighting against taxation. That sounds k with me.

Let's face it: the "original intent" of the treaties was to stick them onto what basically amounted to ghettos and hope they went away.

Is that what you want? Of course not.

One would think you want the Indians to be treated equally and fairly.

Equally and fairly means that they have the same rights--and responsibilities--as anyone else who claims United States citizenship.
