Lakota Nation?

                     Of all the silly accusations of that era this one is probably the silliest. But even the accusation, silly as it is, involved a British citizen named Jeffrey Amhurst and didn't involve Americans at all. There wasnt even an America at the time of this co called incident.

                   And just think of the savings to the US taxpayer of the Lakota and Puerto Rico start their own nations like they have promised. Over 60% of Puerto Rico is on welfare and I bet at least that much of the Lakota is getting their monthly check.

Lighten up francis. Then go look up "joke" at Dictionary.com.

Then remove the bunch of pantie acting like a thong.

                             When you have stupidity coming from California its hard to tell if they are joking or not. Were talking about a place that lets ex-football players and TV stars get away with murder and turn a Rodney King into a cult hero.

                           "remove the bunch of pantie acting like a thong".?

                          You rate low even for a Californian. So where do you think that places you on the worldwide scale?

Maybe if you had read the whole thread before getting yourself all worked up over a Californian you would have seen I stated it was a joke well before your post. You do know what JOKE means right?

They must not teach reading all that well where you are from. That being the case I can see why you don't say.

Have fun on the little yellow bus I didn't think they had them for old men like you.

Give them California!  Nothing but a bunch of nuts, fruits and flakes.

[Gunslinger]

Hell give them a res and remove all federal and state property first.  Cut the power, water, phone and any other utility.  Then charge them for EVERYTHING!

Perhaps they will get more in US foreign aid than they did under the treaties with the US.

Shoot, they could declare war on the US then get war reparations.

Perhaps they can lease rights to a foreign military base to say... Russia in exchange for say... money.

Perhaps they can threaten to do that and receive US funding to agree not to.

Perhaps they will legalize Marijuana and openly sell it to the white eyes.

Perhaps they can open casinos and avoid paying taxes to the US and State governments.

Perhaps they can lease land for manufacturing facilities to American companies and provide low cost foreign labor from say Mexico and provide  foreign tax hedge for these companies and earn money on the leases and collect lower taxes instead of taxes going to the US Government.

Perhaps they will qualify as a 3rd world country and receive UN assistance for medical care and money to improve their infrastructure.

Perhaps they can get a seat in the UN.

Perhaps they will force the US Government to redraw US State boundaries and show a new nation.

Perhaps there are natural resources they can sell to foreign countries like the US.

Perhaps they will make treaties with other countries to protect themselves from the US Government in the event of a US invasion.

Prehaps they will make toys using Mexican labor and compete with China for US imports.

Perhaps they will provide secret bank accounts to companies and individuals.

Perhaps they will laugh all the way to their own banks.

Seems to me there can be an upside for them in all this.

Amen Tigress...

About time the Redman stuck it to Whitey.


What's that old saying... the Native American man hunted and fished all day, payed no taxes,a nd the women did all the work...  The White man arrived and though he could improve on that.

Down with Whitey!

Somehow I can't see them forming guerrilla bands and besieging cavalry forts. I suspect the motivation is more to do with the mighty dollar, these people being Americans after all, native or not.

As much as anything it's a media stunt, designed to draw attention to their cause. However maybe they have a point. Unless you fall in line with the mainstream. The treatment you receive can be pitiless. The truth is that living off handouts does nothing for self esteem. No wonder drink is still a big problem and life expectancy is so low.

Reading between the lines. I think they are asking for help to end the vicious circle of poverty and depression.

Yep I hope they do every one of those

[lazs2]

more power to em..  anyone who can set up a nation within our nation and avoid all the nanny laws should get a big pat on the back.. it is of course unfair to everyone else but...

taxes and nanny laws are unfair in and of themselves.

hell.. if they set up a free enough country I might just declare my lakotaness.

None of the tribal presidents were involved in the announcement, this may be a publicity stunt.  This group...  doesn't represent everyone in the tribe.  It's an action committee, not the government.

(I'm part Lakota-Sioux, btw, this issue is important in my family)

You might not have to move seems as though the indigenous people of your area lived as you like

Tell the Maidu/Nisenan to get the lead out

The greatest concentration of Indians within the state was in the Central Valley. The Maidu, which simply means "the people," lived in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills. The southernmost Maidu were the Nisenan.

Maidu society was organized in tribes. A tribe was a conglomeration of villages numbering from two to twenty or more. One village was the main village, sort of the capitol, and this would be the site of the ceremonial and religious buildings such as the temescals or sweat houses. Some villages had populations of 500 or more, and others were made up of one or two families. The villages were very loosely organized. Leaders of the villages were mainly advisors, not decision makers. There might be one leader for war, another for religious matters, but there was not a designated leader who could speak for the entire village on all matters.

fine with me... if they get a good enough deal I will be one of them.  Hell.. I can run a casino.

You have my permission to take over California.  Send Lasz to Arizona, he can live out his dream of being Wyatt Earp.  

[Meatwad]

Does that mean carpetbombing teepee's for invading US soil?
