I read your article and I noticed that it selectively ignores extremely pertinent information. The 19th century treaties between the U.S. government and the Saginaw Chippewa allotted land to tribal members, NOT to the tribe.
The treaties also required that the tribe disband. The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe was only reorganized in the 1920s. READ THE TREATIES - NOT JUST WHAT THE TRIBE PUTS OUT. If there are disputes about 19th century land deals and allegations of swindles, these disputes should be between the current land owners and the descendants of the individual claimants. I am a private property owner in the area in question. Where do you live Mr. Rogers and who owned your property in the middle of the 19th century? Also, how do you feel about being disenfranchised based on your race? Don't like the prospect? Neither do I. |
