[quote:Anonymous Coward 16269683:MV8yMDAzODE5XzMzNjY1OTQ3XzlGREM2NzFD] [quote:s. d. butler:MV8yMDAzODE5XzMzNjY1ODk5X0NDMDg1RTYx] [quote:Anonymous Coward 16269683:MV8yMDAzODE5XzMzNjY1ODAwXzY0MTY1RDhD] I grew up on a ranch in Nevada, about a mile from a Paiute Indian Reservation and I'm not so sure secession is going to work. Although American Indians tend to be a proud people, they've lost their self reliance and have to depend on government checks to make ends meet. Yeah, I know there are some casinos, pencil companies, timber companies, tobacco companies etc that are Indian owned but I don't thing that's going to sustain them. Charging outsiders for land & natural resource use isn't going to be enough either. The mindset of dependency would have to change. Don't misunderstand me, I fully support what they're trying to do but secession would mean ending Federal & State dollars flowing into their coffers - assuming the Fed's would ever allow it in the first place. The old days and the old ways are gone forever. It was a good way but it ended with the culling of the buffalo and the building of the railroad. [/quote] Not to disagree but Means is well aware of the negatives. From what I remember he has in mind something different from the old ways. [/quote] What do you think his true aim is then? More Federal money or something else? [/quote]
Original Message
"President Barack Obama has an unexpected foreign policy problem – in the Western United States. The Lakota Sioux nation has seceded from the United States, according to a story on the anti-American website La Voz de Aztlan.
“We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” long-time Native American radical leader Russell Means said. The move potentially impacts the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming."
