they have rampant poverty issues that we could help

Do they have access to education?

i don't think we will ever get to a point where they become independent nations. maybe states but that'd have to be negotiated with the current states they reside in

yea

They are all citizens

iirc

so they have all the same benefits

I personally think that if the have access to education they also have the choice to persue better and other lives

they just get ignored

therefor you have no obligation to aid them specifically before other groups/individuals

those that dont live on reservations tend to do fine

those that do either live in poverty or go into the stereotypical casino jobs

I will need to talk to a friend of mine who knows this stuff more

Noticed when i was vissiting the US, almost only natives employed at the casinos outside of vegas

they are part of a tribe and advocate for aid essentially

yea thats the trend

and they tend to be those living on the reservations

cause otherwise its poverty

cause they dont have good options on reservation

again i dont have all the details so im really basing this on heresay

iirc casinos are illegal but native tribes get special privaleges

and vague knowledge

depends on the state

and yea they get a pass i think

so long as they are on reservation or in states where its legal

Can't know everything..
Iäve heard about those weird casino laws before

i guess it has its reasons but i'm no fan of group specific laws

if anything in this case its kind of to pay them back for conquering them

yeah i kinda wish we'd have just integrated them into US society instead of pushing them into reservations

its just poorly implemented

Integration is the best way of handling marginalized groups, def. agree on that!

We have integrated them in many ways but tbh i would have prefered theyd have become states

and hell maybe that cans till be made possible

the problem is negotiating size

wonder if the voters would support that

could be a party splitting issue?

and obviously the state the reservation is in would have say in said negotiations\

iirc its been quite a divisive topic

cause the reservations essentially want ALL of their previous territory back while the States that control alot of that land obviously dont want to give it away

My thought exactrly

I think there should be some sort of compromise
