Native Americans need to become equal citizens. The people that took indian land are dead and gone. There is no land being taken from anyone who payed for it. By teaching native children that some dead white guy mis treated their ancesterors, and that the U.S. owes them a living is only hurting them. CedarR pointed out that preferential treatment to certain people just causes hatred from those who have to pay taxes,buy building permits, pay for medical insurance,ect.... It sounds harsh but we are only keeping them down. Again, casinos cigarettes, illegal fireworks,ect... is not much of a legacy.
