Bowfanatic: Well then bow what is our argument? Believe it or not, I'm not sure I can see how the native culture can be kept intact if the reservations are obliterated. In fact, I have lamented this issue for a long time. Yet I know in my heart it must be done in order to give current tribes a real opportunity.

I am amazed that this thread has developed into such a great discussion. I really thought when I logged on tonight that it would be down to me being a racist, which it seemed close to at one point. Some of the insights and thoughts of the posters on this thread are amazing. Katbones you should be proud.
