Members SevenString Posted December 21, 2007 Members Share Posted December 21, 2007 Can't say as I {censored}ing blame them. My grandmother died on a reservation because of the {censored}ty conditions and lack of medical care. The US government's ongoing violation of treaties has led to a lot of suffering and squalor, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lndianScout Posted December 21, 2007 Members Share Posted December 21, 2007 the Lakota treaty was forced upon the Sioux with the fear of, if they didnt sign it they would lose all of their lands including the badlands... however the Sioux never actually signed away the rights to their lands which makes the treaty illegal and invalid.. so that news story should be taken with a grain of salt, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be fairly non-judgemental for a piece like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evhtone Posted December 21, 2007 Members Share Posted December 21, 2007 if you care to read more about this movement..http://www.lakotafreedom.com/why.html Where do you stand on Indian Casinos? How about being a sovereign nation and having your own set of laws? How about tax laws and how they apply to Indian people and organizations? How about charters schools funded by tax-payers that are specifically designed for Indian youth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
