OKLAHOMA CITY — The nation's second-largest Indian tribe said on Tuesday that it would not be dictated to by the U. S. government over its move to banish 2,800 African Americans from its citizenship rolls.

The U. S. government said that the 1866 treaty between the Cherokee tribe and the U. S. government guaranteed that the slaves were tribal citizens, whether or not they had a Cherokee blood relation.



you'd think people would be more open-minded these days. its 2011 people, not 1865. get with the times. :\

If they don't want to be dictated to then the tribe needs to stop receiving the free checks every month from the federal government.

The indian conservations have every right to dictate their laws.

We gave it to them decades ago.

HOWEVER, today's people want to live vicariously in fairy tale land.
