Wait, you think Native Americans are confined in reservations? Like there's a big fence around the reservation, and they can't go out? Puerto Rico can have in

  >Wait, you think Native Americans are confined in reservations? Like there's a big fence around the reservation, and they can't go out? Good one, no. I think that the lands they lived and had autonomy and their rule of law etc, have been taken from them as their ancestral places, and have been confined to the reservations. The fact that they can move "freely" to New York or the greater South Dakota are irrelevant. It's like someone coming over, taking your house, handing you over the "right" to live and rule over the backyard, but also giving you the "freedom" to rent/buy/live in a room on their own old house if they want. And that's with tons of shady behavior from the federal/state level even for them living there and their resources (e.g. when uranium was discovered in those places).
