Did that law count babies as people? At least they weren’t sexist in making that law, saying native men. But rather, all native people, young, old, female, male.

Native people are the only ones that are going to survive, after modern society collapses under it’s own giant head! Because this is their homeland, and they are the ones that know how to live with it.

Wow….this is totally outdated and even if it was true AT ONE POINT IN TIME(!) it is no longer in effect, hence the fact that it is on this website. It is true that white people (aka “my people” since I have European ancestors) have been incredibly cruel and delivered undeserved punishments to the Native Americans. We can’t change the past, but we can make the future better by not having the same views as our ancestors

Almost all of your are imbeciles, are you really so naïve to believe that we’re on YOUR land, clearly you didn’t pay attention in school. You’re on OUR land, or at least what’s left of it, come on, really, not smart enough to get guns? Well to any of you hunters out there, or fishers for that matter, we can do that year-round without a license.., and to the people assuming we live in wigwams (tipis) we are in the 21st century! that’s like saying you all milk cows or are forced to wear skirts past your ankles (females) and sadly, majority of us CAN’T shoot a bow properly (I can but I was raised by my grandparents half my life) and we aren’t poor, I bet half of you were struggling students at one point, I never was… hell I went to Yale and I am well off… rant over

This Law was created just after treaties were signed. Native Americans were still sending war parties to raid in the Midwest. It was determined that they always came in a band of five or more. The Native American leadership at the time wanted nothing to do with these reckless war parties and helped to fashion this law.

Yes it was never technically “taken off the books”. Laws in general are not taken off the books, but instead they write a new law that invalidates of changes the old law most of what you see on this website are laws that no longer have any teeth.

If your going to get angry about events from many of years ago make sure you have the facts fist. Yes it was never technically “taken off the books”

Lol to the person that said the land was stolen. One it is human nature to conquer other people and land. The Greeks, Romans and other civilization had done it through out history. It’s not our fault that u could not protect it. It’s funny how the losers alway bitch. Get over it. Isn’t life so much better now. We gave u beer,guns,tv,sports ect.

@Jon Keen
You cant be serious, if you think life is better breathing smog, eating trans fats, drinking alcohol, catching all the disease that the white brought over with them, (not to mention the pestilence) trash everywhere you turn, concrete beneath your feet etc..etc..etc, You’re a complete fool! What are you thinking that if the whites wouldn’t have come over here that time would have just stood still and no progression would have happened my IQ is at 183 I think if no one else would come up with some form of advancement in 500 years!! I’m sure I or another like me could make a difference. Who’s to say? You act like we’d all be living in tipis still, I just can’t understand how a someone is ok with publicly announcing how dumb they truly are, some people are so full of themselves! My father was full blood Pomo and my Mother was 3/4 pomo her father was an Irish rapist who was known for his great career choice as a counterfeit!
Oh yes such a blessing we got right? As for your dumbass remark about sports we’re the ones who taught your boring asses sports! You steal talent and art from every other culture and claim it as yours.
You and those who think like you are the ones with empty refrigerator in your front yards and piles of trash in the back, and an uncountable number of cats and dogs that hang around that’s what I see in just about every white neighborhood! If the trash isn’t outside is inside nasty ass people and lastly if its not inside the house its inside the heart. Trash no matter what inside outside or just the people themselves! MAKE ME SICK!!!

When I die I am leaving this planet and all you and yours to
Hate on and fight for or against whatever. Indians had some sense a half millennia ago but not enough to stop fighting one another. All people’s from corners have a history of destruction, whether self or towards others. I’m done preaching when I die I am just leaving. Hoping the best for all of you and remember karma does tend to bite you if bless you in the end.

Us Native Americans did get our land taken from us in the pass, but that only made us stronger. We now have an education and learned from our mistakes. You may call us alcholics, which wouldn’t mean anything because not all of us are addicted to alchol, and the ones that are can be guided. In this day of age us Native American post the biggest threat because just like every other socity that was ruled by Caucasians, this one will also fail.
