Well if one tribe does it others can follow. I hope they dont get their own country. If they want one so bad than fight for it.

Their are plenty of mid-westerners here that would love to play John Wayne and fight injuns...

Someone can correct me here, but I don't believe that most native americans were ever truly granted full "citizen" status in the US, even though they're basically treated as such?

Well theirs the forthaddmendment then this from wiki

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 gave United States citizenship to Native Americans, in part because of an interest by many to see them merged with the American mainstream, and also because of the heroic service of many Native American veterans in World War I.

So in effect, these "treaties" are really just legacy pieces of paper which I personally would not ascribe much or any value to at all.

If you personally would not ascribe any value at all to it is irrelevant , since your courts have agreed to its values and your government put a cash value on buying out clauses of the treaties , though of course the Sioux declined the cash option and wanted their agreed signed entitlements instead .

. In my mind that is tantamount to renouncing one's citizenship, and they'd henceforth be deported. gtfo, have a nice day, thanx 4 playing lole, etc etc.

errrrrr....where would you deport someone to who doesn't come from somewhere else ?

"Native" is a misnomer. The indians traveled to the americas from elsewhere as well, over the frozen Bearing Straight, iirc.

If they don't want to be a part of this country, send them to Alaska where they will be given ships and provisions(its the least we can do after completely sweeping the floor with them), and set them afloat. Good luck in Asia..
