No I am not... because I have no connection to tribes except by blood.
ah
Actually, this brings up an interesting point when people talk social justice. At which point does a mixed person become a PoC.
The answer I tend to hear is 1/8. Which is funny, because that's the threshold the South used for Jim Crow and slavery.
well tbh i think we ignore the amount of shit the reservations are dealing with
Im everything sjw's hate
im predominately Northern European
Hello fellow straight white male history major @Lagomaster24
Native American reservations are suffering from a lot of crap.
hello my hu'white friend
People tend to treat them as foreigners instead of Americans.
I'm guessing you're a Nazi too. You're good at hiding it, but you've just exposed yourself!
It makes me mad.
We are United States citizens too.
Just because we have reservations, doesn't mean we are foreigners.
OH NO ive been found out
Outed
oh also my BS is in both History and Political Science, forgot to mention the other earlier
If I was placed on that reservation like I should have been, I would have been closed off to United States in many ways.
Only got it in history, but i minored in PS and IR
AH DAMN IVE BEEN HAD kek
Since I am outside the reservations, I have a unique angle to look at things.
yea I want to change the US governments relations with the reservations to be more symbiotic
You never know or understand the other side unless you are on the other side.
yep
i know someone who is a tribe member that i hope to try to discuss the topic with
I feel that there been attempts to isolate Native Americans into tribes.
I should ask, how does jurisdiction work with Native American tribes?
Yes we should practice and respect the culture, but use is it to keep them isolated and not allow them to participate in our politics?
well alot of them are separate tribes
In our states growth? They are in fact citizens of our nation.
If they arent going to assimilate then yes
I always was under the impression the feds try and avoid interfering with the reservations for fear it would be overstepping the Indian nations powers.
Heres your qasai legal status now dont interfere
See the main issue is with the reservation host states
Pratel... it is more of a isolation and bubble.
they wont just give that land up to become a state
A lot of bad problems are imported into the reservations, but there is no effort to help them solve those problems.
No they dont get to be a state, theyd be part of whatever state they are currently in
nor are they willing to take on responsibility for the land should it fully intergrate
Then they barely get any say in the direction of our nation's growth.
