Answer 1

Those of you who separate life as it is today from its historical continuum make me sick.  Develop a historical perspective on things...oh...wait...that would require "some people" to acknowledge that their anscestors were murderers and "these people" would have to acknowledge that they benefit from the very advantages that their anscestors secured THROUGH WHOLESALE MURDER.

Oh yeah...that murdering and pillaging and victimizing continues today albeit under different guises and a lot more sophisticated measures...

Answer 2

Are you talking about reservations?

I'm sorry if I'm not quite getting your question, but, no I don't think there's anything terribly unfair, today, about things that happend generations ago.  Those who may have arguably done wrong, and those they wronged, are long dead.  

It's good not to forget history, and to learn from  it, but history of past injustice shouldn't be used as a pretext for inflicting injustice, today.

Answer 3

You want a hand-out.  We're a country of 30% self-made victims.

Answer 4

America and all of its wealth is just as accessible to native Anericans as anyone else. Why do these people not take advantage of the wealth in America by becoming more educated, and taking part in American society.

Nobody is holding them back from participating except those amongst themselves who cling to their traditions and refuse to participate fully in today's society.

Answer 5

Kasmir !! Your spelling has a lot to be desired but the question deserves an answer. No one thinks it fair that the Indians of all tribes were preyed upon as settlers moved in.But that was the nature of the world at the time of immigration. But the Indians are getting back at us through what we call casinos. They are the only legitimate people who can start gambling parlors on their land with no interference from governments. With the Billions that they are reaping, they are buying back choice lands, and soaking the gullible white men for playing on their golf courses.

Answer 6

Thanks to them thousands of families have been ruined due to their tax-free casinos. Thanks to them hard working citizens have to pay extra taxes so they don't have to pay their own taxes. They are ruining their own race by providing free housing and food and whatever else they get free. They are also ruining the prairies and forests by seizing the "White Man's" land and building a casino on it.

It is time to stop the madness and STOP GIVING THEM FREEBIES!!!!!!

Answer 7

Immigrants and Native Americans must be treated as equals because they are the same as citizens.

Answer 8

The native Americans were conqueered it is no longer there land just as Wales is no longer the Welsh peoples land. The british came in and took over. If they had have fought them off they would have a lot more land now wouldn't they?

Anyway now the country is, as you said, more advanced and better off. I think that we should stop complaining and just accept the fact that they are a conquered people.

Why aren't you worried about the aztecs, incans and mayans that were defeated by the spanish. How much of their land do they still own?? There country is a lot worse off than America who is one of the worlds greatest nations.

I hope i have helped as well as given you something to think about.

Answer 9

I think that the native americans are lucky that they have that much land.  Most other conquered civilizations are assimilated into the general populace, they are actually given land that is their own soveriegn terretories.

Answer 10

you know, if you have native american blood and can prove it, you can get a ton of stuff. notice how native americans don't seem to be protesting.

Answer 11

Would that be buffalo chips, party on.

Answer 12

Whoever said life is fair?
