Bill, supposedly you have a college education.  Thus, you should know that
presenting historical facts (F-A-C-T-S) is not synonomous with paranoid
(concerns for one's well-being, beliefs of threats to oneself or property,
belief in conspiracy theories).

Fact:  reservations were the equivalent of jails and residents were not
allowed beyond the boundaries.

Fact:  1928 federal laws were passed designating American Indians "humans"
and allowing them the right to vote and participate in legal actions.

Thus, facts provided for your information, FYI.  And, I'd suggest you do 
some reading on a couple of reservations which routinely are locked down by 
the feds.  That means it still goes on today.
