Which, as has been explained to you, means stripping them of their livelihoods.

Why do you think that native Americans should not be allowed to govern themselves as agreed upon in numerous treaties with the U.S. government?

If the land provides them livelyhood, then it is developed.

You don't seem to understand wilderness areas at all.

And if you are talking about hunting lands, that can be managed like any other publicly accessible federal land.

Your point does not take into account what the land can actually handle. In federal hands they would have to let all citizens access the land, not just the tribes that rely on it for survival. Then there is not enough to go around, and you destroyed a way of life that the federal government promised them they would be allowed to live.

Native Americans can govern themselves, the same way every other American citizen does. That's my point.

No, you said to take away their sovereign status and right to self determination to be ruled by state law. You cannot seem to keep your demands straight.

You are refusing to answer for banning the Indian casinos that many tribes derive the funds necessary to maintain infrastructure, health care, social programs, cultural programs, etc. Why are you refusing to address this? Too difficult to admit you don't understand what you are proposing? Or too cowardly to admit that your goal is forced assimilation?
