The U.S. will pay the Navajo Nation $554 million to end royalties suit

Casinos excluded, how many people on this thread have spent a day on an Indian res to know about this addiction?

I've seen Anthrax a couple times live, does that count?

[Codename Section]

Nope.

Natives have to go through double the paperwork and approvals to build or start businesses on the res. Regulations ( no one likes me saying this) makes it tough for small businesses to get ahead.

Indian Res?



Or just Mississippi?

It's not all $#@! and trash there. My grandma lives here:

We won't learn much about Indians in the casinos because practically no Indians ever go there except to gamble away their welfare check.

natives laugh all the way to the bank watching the blue hairs do that...

[Ransom]

Well.....might I ask that some of those funds go towards their fellow "Redskins?" I mean....how would you like to be a Redskin fan? I figured they's show up last night, they're at home.....Kirk Cousins playing decent ball.....you can forget about RGIII...he's overrated. I know Snyder has money but....dam. That was a debacle last night. Made Manning look like his brother. The G-men.......making a statement? Dallas at home against New Orleans, the Eagles playing stout ball......Where are the Washington Redskins. You cannot possibly the name controversy makes you play that badly? Cmon!

I see my reputation precedes me.

There was a reported survey recently that said less than 40% of adults could name the 3 branches of government.

maybe there are so many people on this board who do not respect our history or form of government because they do not know our history or understand our form of government.

and now they attack me because I don't care to invest hundreds of pages with links of arguments and days if not weeks of my time educating them.

but I've found that when people on the Internet believe something its almost impossible to change their mind and I have largely given up trying.

i just tell you how I see the issue and hope that little light bulb will come on someday when you are older.

Yes, we know that and don't expect more from you. It's OK, really.

Seriously? Look at the numbers.

It's the fault of the Nation...as a citizen of that nation with all of its rights and privileges, you bear a small portion of the responsibility.

The same goes for me...

Well I've heard you Canadians have treated and continue to treat your "native" Americans poorly but it looks like once again in your ardor to stick your oar in U.S. affairs, you are confusing just which country you are a citizen of.

What have you done to push your own nation into better treatment of its native population lately?

Even the UN is on Canada's case:

Can't we just let them open a casino?

Damn, Pete, they already have on practically every corner out west.

It's true. I'm not a crazy person who refuses to discuss these matters with "foreigners". Canada is far from innocent.

My wife is half native...

[Mainecoons]

No, the problem here is that you don't seem to know which country you're a citizen of.

The same goes for me...

It's OK, I'll keep reminding you until you get over your confusion about that.

Now tell us what you're doing about Canada's horrific treatment of its Native Americans. No, marrying a "half" native isn't exactly an action plan.
