I like how this is in US politic madness.
And then every American poster seems to say that the UK should give "back" the Falklands to Argentina.
Brilliant.
this is liberalism at its finest... I shouldn't have even participated in this thread, but we all know natives of all continents are savages! one only needs to ask the Brits about that.
Britain has been trying to civilize the natives since before America was even a concept... I myself am anti-colonialist, America kicked the brits butts long ago, that's our story.
though the sun has set on their Empire which they thought never would...
God save the Queen!

You never said you were a Scott or that we were talking about Scottish history. You said we were talking about Britian. I'm not a mind reader. I do enjoy how you defend the throne that has stolen your nation's sovereignty. Bravo.

That's a lot of land for the 3 American Indians that still exist.

There was a war. The natives lost.
Then there was a purchasing agreement. The natives made a foolish decision.
Call me racist if you like, but why is the US Government supposed to return this land?

So who governs the land that we "give back"? Do they become their own nation? Where is the 56 million acres of land they are wanting to give back?
I agree the American Native lands were raped and they got a bum deal but come on. How would they thrive and prosper in this deal? And why are there so many unemployed Indians? Why can't they get jobs?

well my tribe alone has about 5000 registered voters. i cant say how many more are here.
we are one of the smaller tribes of about 10 in this state.
and there are a lot of states and a canada in north america alone.
and the federal government still attempts to take land.
every year we are approached by the government, declaring that treaties that make up the borders are wrong and we have to have legal battles constantly to defend it.
there is always a freeway they need to lay. or a pipeline that needs to cut through. or a housing development on the border that needs to be owned by the US.
they never stop

Why are there so many non Natives that are unemployed? Why can't they get jobs?
You know what is interesting? Russell Means said a couple of years back that the U.S. is turning into one big reservation, as we watch people losing their jobs, homes, and having no where to turn to but the.....govt. Sounds familiar!

Something I have always personally wondered is "Why, after centuries of "atrocities", ("Genocide" is too negitive a word and implies blame. "atrocity" is more neutral. As voted by Can. Govn't.) have none of these, recognized by Canada Nations, ever tried forcefully to doing anything in a long time. Most natives are pissed off about our past and present. What will happen if the Natives get too pissed off again? Nations can only take so much abuse before they retaliate.

I will come in peace and give you some British History you may not be aware of. Yes the normans invaded England. And to most peoples belief the Normans where French. Thats wrong they are Scandinavians. However why did King Harold lose the Battle with William?3
King Harold Godwinson had to fight and defeat the Vikings at the Battle Of Stamford Bridge:-
en.wikipedia.org...
3 weeks later after having to march his army 300 miles south he fought The Normans at Hastings:-
en.wikipedia.org...
The reason for the English defeat was a mixture of tiredness and battle weary. The Norman army was both fresh and rested.
