tubebender, thanks for the ping. It is very interesting to me to read what white people say about this subject. So far Arkinsaw makes the most sense. The Indians are not going to get America back any more than the Hawaiians are going to get back the Islands. Yet , the U.S. does need to fulfill the promises and treaties that they have reneged on. The Babbitt fiasco and the loss of billions (yes Billions) of dollars missing from the BIA is sickening. So Babbitt leaves office and gets fined about 750,000 dollars and guess who pays his fine...the American Tax Payers.
The two things I think important in my tribe is getting our fishing rights back and the building of the Indian Health Clinics. Both of these have helped the tribe economically etc. I dont think this is too much to ask of America. And I do agree that A.I.M. is bad for the Indians. They are outlaws and disrupters of the general population of Indians. Aloha from Maui
