NATIVE LANDS

Or, to put it another way, the government is Big Oil. And, speaking of natives, you know what happens when Imperilists want something off or out of native lands and the natives get restless...bye, bye, natives.

Unfortunately, that has been the government's track record. Putting the Native Americans on reservations just so the government could take their land. AND THEN, going after the mineral rights on those reservations, as they did in North Dakota. What was almost funny, was that in the 1970s, the Wabanaki People, a tribe of Native Americans, were in court stating that they still owned 60% of the land that made up the atate of Maine, due to the fact that several treaties had been broken by the United States, and as a result the Wabanaki People wanted to reclaim their land.
