The only thing that the US govt will let you send to the Indian reservation is smallpox. LOL I am being sarcastic but its sad, that we made such bogus deals with them, and your right about it not being worth it to live on indian resv, most are generally very poor.
Hmmm...good answer to the question. I'm not sure why he got mad at you for simply stating what the law is. I'm a Native American and a lawyer, and I didn't know the answer to that question right off the bat. I would have had to look that up. As far as whether the reparations to the Native Americans have been appropriate or whatever, I really don't want to argue that point on a fitness site...lol.
