Close the reservations. Just about any ethnic group can make a claim based on ancient history that they've been abused or swindled out of something. The reservations should be closed and the land sold over to development. Of, course the indians should be compensated, but not given special rights to sit on huge tracts of land and special privileges. Live on the suburban reservation like the rest of us.

But only the Indians have the US Constitution standing beside their claims. The US made treaties with them. The US cannot reneg on the treaties. No other ethnicity has treaties. That is the difference.
