I don't post here enough...
Before I ask the question, first let me say I'm about 3/4th's native, mother was a full blood from Standing Rock tribe, father was half Turtle Mountain Chippewa.
So, say that maybe, the Native American tribes win back, I don't know, for example, maybe the Back Hills in South Dakota. Long legal battle, the judge ruled in the tribes favor, the crowd went wild and so forth.
Now, when we get the land back, what the hell are we going to do with it being that some 250,000 people already live there. I mean honestly, as much as these people think that the Ft. Laramie Treaty should be upheld and fought for, it's already pretty much dead and gone in terms of its usefulness.
Why fight?
