That's a big questions, first off we want our treaty's hounoured, these are legal agreements that were signed and never hounoured, it included land, education and health care.  Most were signed 150 yrs ago and still have not been hounoured, these are legal agreements signed and recognized by courts.\n\nAlot of us just want what was promised to us years ago.\n\nI pay taxes just like everyone else, the only time I don't is if i live on reserve, work on reserve and am bring goods back to the reserve, however that's not possible because there is no work there.  I live in the city pay taxes pay for my own school and health care, because the govern't is slowly taking health care/prescriptions away and i come from a poor reserve that can't pay my schooling.\n\nIf you have any other questions send me a message, the link is in my answers profile

Well it's pretty simple but clearly you are just an ignorant ass. Let me ask you one question. Are you a Native American? \n\nThey are probably here for the same reasons your family came to be here persecution, hardships, a shot at giving themselves and their families a better life. Do you realize the chances and danger they face trying to get into our country? This should be a complement to all of us. We have such a wonderful country that people are willing to take incredible risks just to be here. Should we punish people for wanting a better life?\n\nI will also say I am a car salesman. Let me tell you I'm all for them getting Social Security cards. Most of the Hispanic people (I'm assuming this is what you are targeting) I have met in through the business work very hard and long hours so they can provide for their family. Most have at least Tax ID's so that means we are collecting tax's from them so why not allow them the rights and freedoms we enjoy. It's a shame that I cannot sell them vehicles because they do not have SS cards. Also I have several banks that will only loan money to Hispanic people. Do you know why? They do so because the Hispanic community has a much better rate of paying their bills unlike most of the "Americans".\n\nI have one final question for you. If we didn't allow anyone into our country how would that benefit you?

Good God, NO! We'll take the sane English-speaking provinces, not the lunatic French one. Those people are insufferable and have nearly ruined Canada.\n\nI'm just trying to figure out why so many non-Quebecois want to keep those loonies as part of your country? I'd have let those deranged semi-frogs loose long ago.

Promises Promises\n\nNeither will do what they say they will.  The immigration issue is sort of moot, because Bush already signed the immigration bill a couple weeks ago.  I have not heard anything on their part in how they are going to treat immigrants on the local level though.\n\nChris Bell is the agriculture guy, so he would be against the horse slaughters.

Pourqoui est toutes chose en anglais?\n\n<_< So people, such a tourists, or immigrants can understand what they are buying.\n\nWe are a melting pot, after all.

Im not a Native American, but I do live in Alaska, and I  am proud to be an American. Im not sure why the person you talked to was bitter about the way Alasksn's are treated, but I have no complaints. It's just a little boring here :)

Weren't the Indian's here before anyone??? Anyway...I say let 'em. If they can do it, then so be it. I doubt they'd ever be able to, but if they demanded it, I wouldn't hate them for it. They can do whatever they want, just like the rest of us. Just as long as they don't go to war over it, then I don't see the harm of them CLAIMING anything. Now, taking it, that's a different situation all together....That could get ugly, and I wouldn't want anyone getting hurt...

They didn't have immigration laws back then.  The first native Americans that met the settlers liked and helped them.  Other tribes weren't so nice on the intrusion of their land,(the territory they were aware of and hunted in etc) even if it was other Native Americans.  You act like like they had maps and all abided by the same rules and cultural practices and met once a year to toke the peace pipe and compare notes.

Yeah...this power struggle thing really gets to me too...Unfortunately we as a species have not yet reached a higher conciseness...although some of us are well on our way(including you by the sound of things) and struggle over this territory or that one has been going on since man kind stopped nomadic migration and started up with agriculture and ,,,this plot of land belongs to me and that plot of land belongs to you,...until we find a way to rise above this as a species, I do not see any real hope of improvement!

Land, they want the land.

They want something directly from the US.  They just haven't said what yet.\n\nThey also want to avoid making any further agreements with their neighbors in the region that would hamper their aspirations toward dominance of the region.

The native Australians think the same thing. The monarchy is a tradition, and a very expensive one at that. I would like to know why that tradition is upheld because they have no power. they are basically useless.
