      Jeep, did you not get that part about sovergity? It was about recognizing a conquered nation. Not US citizens, but members of a nation predating the US. Sure they're US citizens now, but they weren't untill after those treaties were signed. You're comparing apples and motor vehicles here.
      Also, pureblood NA's (for the record I'm in Arkansas and the indians I know hate being called "NA's", but it was the term in use on the thread so I'm running with it) are almost non-existant. Fewer people are meeting the req's every year. They'll soon be simply 'American'. So I wouldn't worry about it to much, they just haven't been completely assimilated yet. Happens when we box 'em up on reservations. Draw 'em out and it'll go faster...
      By the by, we all wanted to attend catholic girls school.

      Slang, yup, Whit White. That's me. I even got sent to the office in jr. high for telling a sub that was my name. Of course I walked into the office and they said, "Why are you in here, Whit." So it didn't go to far.
