Lynda, are you amerind? If so, with what tribe are you affiliated?of
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
ushttp://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/options/homestead/lurine%40softcom.net
have felt about the whole sovereign thing.
