Yeah, the white US Gov. made the deals and signed the treaty giving NA's limited sovereignty over themselves, which in turn gives them the right to open casino's. We're still bound by those treaties. That's life. Whether it was a mistake or not is redundant. The deal is done. Gay marriage and homosexuality in general is an increasingly open issue.

Yes we did.
We also assumed that marriage would be between a man and a woman.
Should we have signed a treaty or made a law saying only man and woman could marry? Then would we have been right?
How is saying indians (oh I'm sorry native americans, I'm from oklahoma home of indian gaming not NA gaming) are going to be treated special different than saying man and woman married are going to be treated special? You call one reparations and the other discrimination, yet they both are clear examples of discrimination (limited membership if you will) to me.
I say if we want equal rights for everybody lets give EVERYBODY equal rights.
But instead we pick and choose who to be included into what rights. If we keep doing that this battle will never end.
Only if the government stops discrimination against *ALL* people by limiting benefits to people that meet a certain criteria will I support gay marriage.
