read the following document, this is/was made in 2003 not 1803. As you can see by one of the resolutions below that getting equal treatment as citizens is still an issue. You take local cops for granted, what happens when the state tells you no courts, no cops in your area. So in the white world the local town raises some taxes and puts cops on the street. Unfortunately if the villages do that the state claims that the local cops are illegal because the state didnt authorise them. So before you start your white whining, lets get on an equal footing. Or is the rule "no matter what the government promises the tribes it is unenforcable 30 seconds after signing forever"
your are living proof that "if you aint white you aint right"
thanx,
bill
