Tsalagi, when the greedy nit wits, in Washington, got a little graft, I mean campaign, greasing their palms, it sure seemed like a great idea to move people off of the lands they had been living on for thousands of years before the white man came along, with a better idea......so lets see now, there are these fine upstanding fellows, who have have graciously given me quite a generous campaign donation, and have simply asked if it would be feasible to remove, and relocate these non God fearing heathens, off of land that they don't have deeds for, and put them on land that no one in their right ming would try to cultivate, and make them take up farming, and stop them from teaching their young their heritage,traditions,language, religeon, and way of life. Well I am sure that since they are used to the rural life that if they really put their minds, and backs to it they can make a go of it, and the fine upstanding citizens, who want to see me continue sticking, er, doing the best thing for America, will make good use of the land that the heathens were just letting go to waste. Now, where did I put that bag of money. Certainly not in the Freezer, it hasn't been invented yet
.....Some things never change
........But to play the devils advocate, The NA's themselves were not above running another tribe off of their ancestral lands, if they had the resources to do so, and it was a good hunting, and well watered land.
