1. states are not sovereign. 2. You used to be able to go to other countries using tribe issued travel VISA's. You no longer can. 3. The tribes are not "above" certain US laws. Federal laws still apply to them, local laws do not (state, city, etc). This claim of yours is akin to stating New York is "above" certain US laws because the laws of Nebraska do not apply in New York. 4. The federal government does not claim they are their own nation. 5. What you're suggesting is that the US government renege on agreements it made. Not a good look. I strongly recommend you read over this, it will work to correct a lot of the misinformation. https://www.doi.gov/pmb/cadr/programs/native/gtgworkshop/The-Federal-Trust-Doctrine https://www.doi.gov/pmb/cadr/programs/native/gtgworkshop/The... > In a 2-2-2 opinion, the Supreme Court held that the Cherokee Nation __was not a state or a foreign nation__, and that the Court therefore did not have original jurisdiction and could not hear the case.. In addition you should read up on "Indian Trust Responibility", and understand that these things are the way they are because our government signed treaties. And finally: Many (most?) of your statements in this conversation have been factually incorrect. Which is why I bothered to comment. I don't have an opinion, but I felt that you formed your opinion based upon incorrect information and you should be given the opportunity to reassess. However, your last paragraph above leads me to believe your opinions are racially motivated. It's certainly not an accurate portrayal of widely held opinions of Native Americans. What next, Asians are separatist because China Town is a thing? I won't be continuing this conversation, I find this distasteful.
