If these guys are not careful they could be relocated to their new homeland in Guantanamo Bay!
As presumably these people have the exact same rights, access to social services etc as everyone else it seems scandalous that in a place like the US, any group - geographical, minority or otherwise - should have a male life expectancy of 44.
To be fair its not just a US problem. Aborigines in Australia, Maori in New Zealand, Travelling Community in Ireland, Gypsies in Romania etc
Yes I agree, but it was my understanding that native Americans had more autonomy (maybe I'm wrong?) than the other groups you mention and I'm wondering if availing of this autonomy, even when more advantageous options are available, is sometimes to their detriment.

Will be interesting to see how the US deals with this.
Ohh they will probably be classed as insurgents who have terrorist training camps, harbourin' Al Quida & have weapons grade plutonium buried in them there hills.
They'll send in the troops!
I'm sure that they would be impressed by this!the red indians
The [broken link removed] have broken away from the Union.
Send in the 7th cavalry!
A little thing called Posse Comitatus Act would make it difficult to do that unless the US congress would say that the US is in a state of war with the nation of Lakota.
The President could use the Insurrection Act to send troops if the states can't deal with this, however the question is as in how far that applies to indian reservations due to the fact that the tribal police is the law enforcement agency there. I can't see the tribal police requesting the US goverment to help them restore order.
This is going to end in front of the supremes , I don't think that either the Lakota Chiefs or the Department of the Interior is going to have violance in this.
And than again the question is also as in how far the people that initiated this are actulay speaking for the Lakota nation.
If they do than this is going to be interesting.
