Should a virtual state, a state with no common boundary, be offered the the Native American Nations? As such, Native Americans would be allowed 2 senators and representatives in the house in proportion to their population.
What about it? Is it time that the first Americans have their own voice in the affairs of government of their native country?

No. We have too many people in Washington right now that's why there is lots of talk but very little gets done. Adding more people will not help and the Native Americans are represented and they can vote like all the other citizens of the USA. My grandmother was a Native American and I think that she would agree with me.

They don't want it! In the eyes of the law, both domestic and international, native americans are sovereign nations, though the US supreme court has since labeled them domestic dependent nations to legitimize the federal government's interference in their lives.

That would take away from them more than they have now. As of now they are a semi-sovereign nation and as such can do things that states can't. It would be a tribal decision anyway not a voters decision.

No way. We already have too many senators and representatives in Congress. Native Americans have representation, just like everyone else in the US.

Why would they want one? they have their own cabinet position and freedom from the rules and taxation of states.

There's only one problem with this theory: I'm just as native to the United States as any so-called "Native American". I didn't choose to be born and raised here anymore than they did, so to somehow claim that they deserve special rights is in itself racist. Just because their ancestors were here before my ancestors doesn't matter, all that matters is that we both were born and raised here, so it's equally our country.
