I'm sorry, Lynda, but conquered is conquered. Whether you saw the
writing on the wall, as you put it, and surrendered, or got the
daylights beat out of you, or got rounded up and put in cattle pens,
the indigenous peoples were ALL conquered. And sovereign means
exactly what the government says it means, which you correctly stated,
is whatever the government wants it to mean.
I said this earlier, I think. Sometimes life is hard.
