No you said there where whites here first. Thats why I told you not to show me the failed Soultrain myth. Show me the link or admit your are stupid.
It seems this controversy has been going on since 1905 and that the town took property away from reservation land awarded to the Native Americans. It's the kind of controversy that has occurred many times over land and resources during all the time the US has existed. And other administrations have gone against someone or some group in trying to settle them. This is really nothing new and nothing that other presidents haven't done. Let the people involved settle it as has been done before. Looking at the picture at the town, I'm wondering why anyone would want it anyway. But then that's the case in the ME as well: killing each other over land that is essentially barren wasteland. People are nuts. I'll bet these people in Wyoming have been offered more money for their land than it's worth and have refused it because they are clinging to that ugly piece of shit town.
Sometimes, home is what it is and we cherish our homes. If it's such an ugly shit town, why would the Natives want it?
A casino comes to mind...
Riverton is just 120 miles from Casper and 4 hours from Cheyenne.
Wyoming's two most populous cities.
Riverton is also oat the junction of two major routes which cross Wyoming. US 20 and US 26
Well...probably gonna get some flack for this, but....I think it's great. For the iNative Americans. However, those in town that do not wish to stay should be bought out so they can buy land somewhere else. Obama seems to be flashing money around so why not compensate the land owners THEN give the town BACK TO WHOM IT BELONGED TO FROM THE GETGO?
Personally, if it was me, I would make damn sure to meet with the elders and see if they would honor me owning the home I am in. Once I am dead, they can have it back.
But that's me.
The entire country belonged to Native Americans at one time. Do you propose some kind of statute of limitations, or should all of it be returned to its "rightful" owners? I would venture to say that most people who live in this town, own property there, were not aware of this possibility when they made their decision. If anything, why not sue the title companies for negligence? That will probably happen, anyway. At some point, we have to draw a line and admit that what was is no longer and move into the future.
If I lived in this town and was getting evicted for this purpose, I guarantee that the "inheritors" would have to like shades of charcoal because I'd see them take razed earth before they took what I earned, or built, or bought in good faith.
I am proposing that the government FINALLY stick to their treaties promised instead of continually shoving them around to make room for non native americans. That town was built on NA land. The town belongs to the NA's. Period. No ands ifs or buts.

Then let them have the land. I would still raze the town to the ground before I left. They didn't build that, after all. It just bothers me that people claiming to have been mistreated turn around an d perpetrate the same mistreatment on others. As if two wrongs would make it right. At some point, I would hope that the adults in the room would demand that the shit stops NOW. Let go of the bitter past, move on to the future. We can change that.

There is a huge difference between giving back the entire country and honoring treaties. So obvious I can't understand how people don't see it. But, they are thinking in extremes, without logic, as they usually do. This topic is about honoring legal agreements, treaties. The US government made treaties about land/reservations being set aside for the Native Americans, and the government has broken those legal agreements. As Gracie says, they need to stick to their treaties. It is the US government who is behaving illegally. This is about a legal issue, not about giving back a country that was essentially won in wars and battles with the native population.
Won in Battles and Wars with the Native Population....
^^^^^
It's hopeless.
Read the whole thread; maybe you'll figure it out. I'm neither interested in repeating myself over and over again nor in repeating what others have posted. One point: EPA did not make the decision.
It is a very simple legal issue. The Native Americans were deeded the land in a treaty. In 1905, the State of Wyoming and the US Congress ignored the treaty and took the land away from the NAs. They are the ones who broke the law. It belongs to the NAs. Just because it went to court twice and didn't win doesn't make it right. The treaty was broken, by the white guys. They need to give the land back. Very, very simple.
Read the effing thread.
I can't frigging believe it.
Talk about overstepping their authority.
Why isn't the Congress Critters from Wyoming raising all kinds of hell?
Too bad paleface
Who cares?
Wyoming is a red state, give the whole thing to the Indians
Red... Indians...
You a racist RW?
