>>25350697each tribe is a ratified sovereign nation, as per the treaties formed to stop the total genocide of indigenous. that hasn't stopped people from kidnapping their children, raping and experimenting on them, and tossing them into mass graves in the name of white Christ, or drilling on their land, or buying tribal council/leadership and setting up shell companies to own swathes of land for oil fracking without doing environmental impact reports, or funneling coke and meth cartels onto reservations to keep them from rising above endemic racism or growing to any sort of power. so just let them have a little title.
