Tribes seek federal bailout

That's not what you said. You said there were no wars, you didn't add qualifiers. Sovereign nations stood against the US, they lost. They lost their land and were permitted to survive which was merciful. The fact that they have multi billion dollar casinos, pay nothing into the country they want to draw money from is the issue. Hand them the last check, annex the land and move on.

Indian nations are sovereign nations. You knew that right?

It's an honorary title. Does the UN recognize them? Are the man exempt from selective service?

But ya, I knew that.

You started out so well on this one and fumbled the ball on the goal line.

There were no wars till the US government went back on treaties deciding to nullify the conditions.

The United States recognizes them as a dependent nation but a sovereign nation of their own. They are exempt from taxes and make their own laws within their borders. The federal government treats them the same as it does dealing with any other nation. They don't need UN recognition as they are within the US boundaries and we recognize them
