October 22, 2012, 1:13pm (report abuse)The tribes already get money from EVERY government agency. They are the only foreign country within our country. They choose to be tribal members and not members of the United States. They cannot be both so why should we be supporting them? I, for one am sick & tired of the old statement that the white men stole everything from them. They were not alive then & neither were we - get over it.

We took everything from them and lied, and forfeited treaties that we signed with them. Why would they want to join us. The only thing we can do is honor our agreements with them, and honor and respect them.

Yes, that would be great! You don't have to honor us, but, honor your agreements!
