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.
@Blackhawk342 thats the likely result
I don't advocate giving land back, that time has long since past.
the problem is getting the states to take more responsiblity
I think though, we should focus on co-existing and making amends for past transactions by doing something positive to help both of us.
yea
like what specifically?
You shouldn't. But that's not really something that can really be legislated. And it requires mutual agreement.
well the states and the federal need to take more responsibility for one, instead of ignore them
I'm not sure, my thoughts are not complete because I don't have access to any tribes at the moment.
same
But I feel we can't ignore them and leave them to their own demise.
thats why i want to talk with the tribe member i know
I can only talk about my experiences outside the reservations as a native American.
At somepoint they have to work things out themselves
And what I see from peering into the reservation.
oh def
Cant have the government running their lives, even if it is to lead them to salvation
in some regards they need to take responsibility too
But the government can fix the problems that they created themselves.
The tribes near me always seemed to be doing ok. Alot of the issue I hear about are pretty universal of that part of the world. Stuff like alcohol and opiate addiction.
but we have to work together to ease the burden
Make amends.
Its not like addiction is stuck inside of reservations
its mostly north mid-west
that the problems occur iirc
Open an center to help fight addiction in native reservations would be a good step.
