In places without our commitment to freedom and human rights those type of groups would have been suppressed by the government.&lt;p&gt;Edit: just to be clear some of your other points are fair although I find the “Indian reservations” a bit dated - they are treated as local sovereigns (e.g. casinos, being allowed to violate state level hunting regulations) and are even now being allowed to expand their territory in some places .</text></comment>
