Comment: Joe—

"We," the state's "residents," are always backpedalling to the natives' wants? The people who have been here time out of mind? 

Think you might have that a little (a lot) backwards?

It's THEIR land. 

It wasn't yours, it's not yours now, and it isn't going to become yours just because the tribes don't ask the feds to put it in trust. 

So you can relax—it turns out you're not out anything after all.
