"People in general (calculated to set off KenP) are egocentric (calculated to set off some others) because we see things from our own perspective (calculated to set off BDOX) since our own experience is all we know except from books, history, personal experience, our families, or the crap on TV (calculated to set off all the rest)
So what happened to:
(and here I quote)
"The Sioux are cancelling all their treaties with the US and going 'self rule.'
(Theoretical legal process) Is it true or not?
So what happens with the real estate? (four or five states that is Lakota Sioux land.)
(Land issue) Not an issue yet - the first is as yet not resolved. *Second half of statement unchallenged supposition.
Josh, does this mean you join the Indian Nation?
(Personal joke)
Or is there trouble ahead? I don't know how this works, are they only asking for their reservations? If they are cancelling all treaties, does that mean there are no reservations?
(Speculation - clarification requested)
People so seldom know what they ask or want...
Is there an expert in critical thinking in the house?
(He asks, innocently)
*Twiddlezz paw pads*
I expect condemnation momentarily...

No, what makes you think there might be at this late stage?

I thought the original topic was interesting but I'm not really a fan of the current trend in the thread.....I am staying tuned in case it goes back.

In Canada, we have Native indians or "First Nations People" they call thermselves that all they want is BENEFITS that Canadian Taxpayer's provide.
I was lucky enough to go to school in the 60's with 2 natives in one oif my classes.
One went on to be a Teacher and the other a heavy Duty Mechanic.
Unfortunately there is a LOT of stereotyping in North America becuause of
WHO GETS THE PRESS
The Natives are exempt from certain areas of Law in Canada and people don't like that
There are tons of people against these treaties as they feel they are outdated.

We also have Quebec to deal with.
I suspect these topics and issues
will also come up with the Lakota Sioux Situation.
The fact of the matter is most of these type groups what things "BOTH WAYS"

No kidding.
Gimmee more, provided I don't have to lose anything.
I think white people are a minority now - but they have no such subsidies.
Since when is a caucasian student granted anything? (quote) "Are you more than one eighth Caucasian?" (unquote)
It's bullcrap now - the supposed level playing field is unequal, and has been for decades.

You got that one right.
The existing framework is no longer fair.
The only possible criteria for anything, should be citizenship.
JUST THAT - and nothing else.
Oh dear - have I stated something obvious to everyone????
UBU

You know what I say? let them have it. Also, you should know that I live in the contested area.
They can quit the US all they want, as soon as they do, we will roll in with our military and take the land for ourselves and then the land will be ours and we will not have to pay a dime. ok well, a few dimes... fuel for a few M1A1s, just for the scare factor.
Oh, and Rangerfan, I live aprox. 10 miles from a res, and I can tell you that while there are people like you describe... arent there people like that of every nationality? I have seen some of the most gifted athletes and hard workers that I have every known come off of the res, so shut it.
Sorry it took so long to reply Bruce, this one slipped under my radar somehow.
