Should Indian Reservation be disbanded?
I believe that their day in the sun has faded. Even then, what happened 100-150 years ago probably was not the best thing to do, but that society had different ideals/ethics, etc. Regardless, I believe that reservations should be disbanded, and the land given to the tribe to sell or do whatever they want with it. No more federal assistance, no more handouts. No more making alcohol illegal - after all they are grown adults!! I can't believe that this is the 21st century and we still have archaic things such as reservations and religion!!!!!!!! They all must go!!!!!!!

They should keep their reservations, but..

Kick the federal government, and all their rules and handouts, to the curb.

They should also give everyone property ownership. How can any civilization improve themselves when the next incoming politician can take away your house and land, and give it to his relatives?

No...
 Quoting: hurchel




Why not? It is a classic example of what welfare does to a people! Crime, alcoholism, child molestation, drugs, etc. are all serious concerns. No pride whatsoever. I say let those people be human again, pick up their boots by the straps and move forward. No more assistance, the land is theirs to do what they please (sell, rent, keep, etc.), and they pay taxes, etc. like the rest of us. Merge them into society!!!

Well, then you should know that some tribes actually BOUGHT their land from the US. How does one disband something that someone else PAID for?

Re: Should Indian Reservation be disbanded?
i have no experience with reservtions, but heres my 2 cents.

its the 21st century. do indians WANT to live on reservations? i think many are living outside of reservations and in the general population. if that is true, then they are like everyone else, a minority group, though a native one. if they want a reservation to continue their native customs, which they cant do without it, then they should have that right.

i dont know enough of what they get from uncle sam and how they function to comment more.

Disbanding and stopping all federal assistance is two separate topics. The federal government owes some Native American tribes hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sounds like a native. Handouts and booze... so sad... indigenous people have had their asses kicked all through history, what makes this any different? Natives went to war with other natives and took the losers territory, does that make it ok?
