I am refering to the Indigenous peoples that have always lived on the continent and a minority of these Nations have legal contracts that spell out the rights the involved Nations choose to retain.
There are no Indigenous peoples that have always lived on the continent. There should not be any other Nation in the United States of America unless it has invaded us and we are at war.
VinnyC, since when are you not peoples of the earth? As such its your duty to share the earth as it doesn't really belong to anybody but who God created. Your people came over the Aleutians and across the seas like our people did.
Currently this country needs to be for all Americans, but hanging on to what traditions you can. Go "lightly my friend" as the past is a hard master to be at peace with. It may ask more of you than you can actually assimilate into the reality of today. God speed my friend...
