I should ask, how does jurisdiction work with Native American tribes?

2018-08-22 03:10:44 UTC  

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?

2018-08-22 03:10:50 UTC  

well alot of them are separate tribes

2018-08-22 03:10:58 UTC  

In our states growth? They are in fact citizens of our nation.

2018-08-22 03:11:09 UTC  

If they arent going to assimilate then yes

2018-08-22 03:11:21 UTC  

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.

2018-08-22 03:11:24 UTC  

Heres your qasai legal status now dont interfere

2018-08-22 03:11:26 UTC  

See the main issue is with the reservation host states

2018-08-22 03:11:37 UTC  

Pratel... it is more of a isolation and bubble.

2018-08-22 03:11:42 UTC  

they wont just give that land up to become a state

2018-08-22 03:11:56 UTC  

A lot of bad problems are imported into the reservations, but there is no effort to help them solve those problems.

2018-08-22 03:12:06 UTC  

No they dont get to be a state, theyd be part of whatever state they are currently in

2018-08-22 03:12:08 UTC  

nor are they willing to take on responsibility for the land should it fully intergrate

2018-08-22 03:12:16 UTC  

Then they barely get any say in the direction of our nation's growth.

2018-08-22 03:12:26 UTC  

@Blackhawk342 thats the likely result

2018-08-22 03:12:33 UTC  

I don't advocate giving land back, that time has long since past.

2018-08-22 03:12:40 UTC  

the problem is getting the states to take more responsiblity

2018-08-22 03:12:57 UTC  

I think though, we should focus on co-existing and making amends for past transactions by doing something positive to help both of us.

2018-08-22 03:13:04 UTC  

yea

2018-08-22 03:13:07 UTC  

like what specifically?

2018-08-22 03:13:12 UTC  

Why should I stay bitter about the past, the past I wasn't directly impacted by?

2018-08-22 03:13:47 UTC  

You shouldn't. But that's not really something that can really be legislated. And it requires mutual agreement.

2018-08-22 03:13:49 UTC  

well the states and the federal need to take more responsibility for one, instead of ignore them

2018-08-22 03:14:00 UTC  

I'm not sure, my thoughts are not complete because I don't have access to any tribes at the moment.

2018-08-22 03:14:05 UTC  

same

2018-08-22 03:14:07 UTC  

But I feel we can't ignore them and leave them to their own demise.

2018-08-22 03:14:19 UTC  

thats why i want to talk with the tribe member i know

2018-08-22 03:14:24 UTC  

I can only talk about my experiences outside the reservations as a native American.

2018-08-22 03:14:27 UTC  

At somepoint they have to work things out themselves

2018-08-22 03:14:35 UTC  

And what I see from peering into the reservation.

2018-08-22 03:14:38 UTC  

oh def

2018-08-22 03:14:41 UTC  

Cant have the government running their lives, even if it is to lead them to salvation

2018-08-22 03:14:48 UTC  

in some regards they need to take responsibility too

2018-08-22 03:14:57 UTC  

But the government can fix the problems that they created themselves.

2018-08-22 03:15:00 UTC  

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.

2018-08-22 03:15:01 UTC  

but we have to work together to ease the burden

2018-08-22 03:15:03 UTC  

Make amends.

2018-08-22 03:15:23 UTC  

Its not like addiction is stuck inside of reservations

2018-08-22 03:15:30 UTC  

its mostly north mid-west

2018-08-22 03:15:40 UTC  

that the problems occur iirc

2018-08-22 03:15:44 UTC  

Open an center to help fight addiction in native reservations would be a good step.
