Quite possibly; or at least from other tribes. I know the Lakota were
relative newcomers in this part of the country when we came along and
displaced them.

well, actually, no. Not one person alive today took land belonging
to any "native american" alive today.

Except for various energy concerns. (Read up on Peabody Coal
to start.) Oh, and if Indians take like one fish for every
hundred a major fishing company takes and the fish population
starts to decline, guess who gets the blame? And then there
were the forced sterilizations in the 70s, Norplant and
Depo-Provera experiments in the 80s, toxic waste dumps from
the 50s to present day . . . Shall I go on?

Oh, and might I add, if you have a problem with the government
snatching up Indian lands and leasing it to huge corporations
for toxic waste dumps without the locals' consent, you're a
communist.
