Lynda, are you amerind?   If so, with what tribe are you affiliated?   
Just curiosity on my part.   I have spent several years of my teaching 
career on various reservations in the north central continental US.

Also, while this is not politically correct, there is a difference 
between "sovereign", and "conquered".   If a conquered nation is 
allowed by it's conquerer to have some sovereignty, well, that's all 
good.   That "sovereignty" does have limits, however, otherwise there 
would be no need for the adjective "conquered".

Now, you can argue the right or wrongness of that original "conquering 
process" all you want, but it doesn't change the basis of "what is".

Incidentally, I don't use the term "native american" to describe 
descendants of indigenous peoples, because I am a native american.   I 
was born here, as were a lot of my ancestors going back many. many 
generations.

Used to be?  Ah, ask any Indian Nation if the U.S. has a clue what 
sovereign
means!  Maybe folks are going to start feeling like some of the rest of 
us
have felt about the whole sovereign thing.
