[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 261045, member: 3373"] Various treaties were agreed upon by the government and tribes. Are all parts of those treaties being followed or only the part that benefits either party? For example: Did some tribes agree to be able to hunt certain lands forever if they would agree to live on reservations? At the time of the treaties being signed I would assume that the majority of the members of the tribe were mostly 100% native. For most tribes that is no longer the case. Point of fact is that times change and so do the particulars of agreements. I'm sure I'm not the only member of this site who owns farmland and have an agreement with a tenant to rent my land. He pays me a rate/acre to plant his crop and he is free to plant whatever he wishes as long as it is a legal crop and a crop that won't harm the land. It's not a forever agreement. Every so often the cash rent may change and either one of us might decide to no longer have this arrangement. When things change, so should agreements. I know, this agreements (treaties) said "As long as the rivers flow" or some other wording. Most rivers no longer flow in the same manner as when the treaties were signed. [/QUOTE]
