This pisses me off to think that everything in this lifetime always goes back to stepping on private land and reservation that have nothing to do with anyone but the government bureaucracy always sticks their nose where it does not belong making things out out of balance..when are they going to leave the Indian Heritage alone

Nothing worse than "red tape" - bureaucracy slows down every society.
Thanx Sarah.

They have a right to their own land.. full rights, full democracy toooooooooo.. so that their sons and daughters can come home... red tape is a dividing line that does more harm... Cmon America if we in South Africa can do it right in a third world nation surely as a first world country your Native Americans should be given the same rights.. Don't let this become your down fall...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Terry. Now if only the Native Americans and Hawaiians could force the U.S. government to pay all the back rent due on lands that have been stolen and used by the U.S. we'd be making some real headway.
