I have seen this stated over and over. So now that you are so aware of this important information why aren't you moving off this land you state even you don't belong on and agrue over and over it's all theirs. Most of you sound like a bunch of uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics.

~I'm with you JL. All I want is some truth.
If they want my land, let them buy it from the casino, tax-free gas and cheap cigarette profits.

To me, it's not about the fact that the original owners were routed off their land. It's the genocide. When is America going to deal with the fact that our ancestors killed millions of people because we wanted their land? We look like hyprocrites when we criticize other country's human rights, or lack thereof, when we have this shameful series of events in our own history. I have also read that in years past when the US did grill other nations for their abuses, they pointed the finger right back at our genocide.
I don't think that we have ever really come to terms with it, just like we haven't come to terms with slavery.
I say this being neither native American nor black.

Get over yourself, nobody's going anywhere including yourself, unfortunately. BTW Ive never even mentioned anything about indians and those who do (including yourself) have to know that whatever happened back then has nothing to do with our problems or it's solutions now. If you think those people who mention them are uptight hypocrites, imagine how you sound.

Oh, well I don't say that. I'm 1/4 Cherokee, my grandmother full-blooded, and she never said America was Indian land either. She taught me to be proud to be an American, she was proud, too. In truth, the Indian Nation's lost the land to the American's through many battles, because they could not get along, and join each other as a whole people. Indian's could not hold, what they could not see, were my Grandmother's exact words to me. I think what she meant by that was, that we were ignorant of other people's, and it took the Indian Nation to be conquered, to SEE that there was a world bigger than us. I know she was right, because we are not a land without a name anymore, we are America, the greatest Nation that ever was born. She taught me to love, and embrace what IS now, not to morn what once WAS. Thank you, Grandmother.

"How many of you who talk about the Indians owning this land are making arrangements to move off it?"
In 1965, when Congress decided to lift the quota ban on Third World immigration to the US, Teddy Kennedy wnet on the floor of the Senate and said, "The ethnic composition of our neighborhoods WILL NOT CHANGE!"... he was partially correct- HIS neighborhood is still intact! The rest of us get to wallow in all this wonderful deversity!
It's the same with these clowns- yeah, we give the land back, while they set themselves up as moral administrators!

For those who cannot seem to jam this into their brains:
Illegals DO NOT EQUAL Native Americans AND
The Mexican-American War is OVER! Mexico LOST... That is That!
This has nothing to do with poverty, race and whatever other irrelevant and useless card you want to play... this is all about law enforcement, legality and nations' sovereignity. Nothing More and Nothing Less.

Why do you chose to be angry over other people's opinions posted on the internet? Life is mean to be a pleasant experience, one where you learn and grow? It can't be pleasant to be so worked up over other peoples opinions.
Remember: Opinions are like a s s holes....everyone has one, and everyone thinks theirs does not stink...and that would include you, too.
No offense....just sayin'.
