Sam: We’re Bound By Our Treaties
Sam: It seems to me that arguments about what Native American tribes receive from the government comes down to jealousy or racism. There seems to be a group of white Americans who just can’t for the life of them fathom having to simply say “we did something bad” because it happened a long time ago, they don’t want to take blame. Yet those same people spout off about our “Founding Fathers” and the way they would have done it. You can’t start trying to cite the founding fathers and then say we should wipe our hands of everything they did back then, it’s absolutely hypocritical.
Question: Should this country be bound by treaties made with American Indians so long ago?
