> The immunity is the problem. If there are ways to fix the immunity while keeping the sovereignty then those would be potentials solutions. That effect, in this case, places like state universities. > Maybe I missed it in the wikipedia article, but proof that village has been inhabited for millennia isn't proof that the same group had ownership the entire time. There are plenty of cities in Europe which one can look at to see this. > Also, it didn't include the strong evidence of a lasting culture. They found an 8,000 year old site via the oral history of the tribe. The culture they passed down through oral tradition includes this site as a holy place, including it's location (that was submerged by the Elwha dams, so current elders had never visited it before). Archeologists found artifacts related to the use of the site as a place of worship dating back 8,000 years. This strongly implies the same culture has been using this site for worship for 8,000 years. If any other group did take over the village, their culture changed substantially enough to include this holy site, implying at least a merger, not a genocide. > Sorry, I'm not one for standing by while abuse happens. If I ever get the chance to stop the abuse, I'll take it. If that means voting for someone who ends the immunity, so be it. Then you are just going to encourage more abuse. You are trying to fix the symptom, not the problem. You probably still see a compromise in only voting for the two biggest parties. When both abuse their power.
