...Lakotas have lost their land and still they stand tall. Nothing can break them. Nothing can break our shieldwall...
O Stop the BS, lost their LAND? Who in the world gave them the land? Did they buy it? Did they have a deed? Did the UN give them the land? There was no fucking person there so they were just living there. That's it.
And that didn't happen to ANY OF THOSE LAKOTAs, it happened to 7 generations before them. They are just getting tax free living because of what happened to some ancestors they never have even met.
The Natives were here for a long, long time. There was no one before to "give them the land."
The Europeans came and invaded. No one "gave them the land" either, but they came into land the Natives had used for generations.
They signed treaties that did give the Europeans land, in exchange for some rights, such as food to compensate for lost hunting territory.
Then the Europeans did not keep their part of the treaty.
They are a separate Nation, on equal terms with the US government. They have their own laws. To complain that they are not paying some US taxes is similar to complaining that Canadians are not paying US taxes.
Sounds like you would be one of those Europeans.
