Things That Bang

The Lakota Indians have withdrawn from their 150 year old treaty with United States of America.

The Lakota Indians, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States. "We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,'' long-time Indian rights activist Russell Means said. A delegation of Lakota leaders has delivered a message to the State Department, and said they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the U.S., some of them more than 150 years old. The group also visited the Bolivian, Chilean, South African and Venezuelan embassies, and would continue on their diplomatic mission and take it overseas in the coming weeks and months. Lakota country includes parts of the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.

They called the treaty worthless words on worthless paper and finally realized that casinos don't really make the tribe richer. The white man as it is prefers to spend their moolah at Vegas and with the dollar hegemony over this maybe the best time to jump ship. Okay I pulled that one out of my brown ass just as I am pulling this one out that all the Indians in America were known for was - Casinos and Moonshine.

They are most welcome to join their Indian brothers from the Indian subcontinent and do some howdies around the fire. I am sure there is an Indian waiting to scalp me for my blatant ignorance and politically incorrect viewpoint.
