Another Proposal for the $20 Bill
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...DG644BTUO1.DTL
Good arguments for removing Jack&$$ from the $20 bill, but I would prefer to see a noble Native American such as Sitting Bull.

Interesting, but was Sitting Bull ever a US citizen? Even today, Indian
lands are Soverign entities. -- * /?\ /___\ -O=O- ^ AS & His Magic Hat A conclusion is simply the place where you decided to stop thinking.

Teddy Roosevelt or Harry Truman on the front, Mt Rushmore on the back.

A Jersey cow on the front, along with a farm scene on the back.

But some tribes, notably the Five Tribes of Oklahoma became citizens in 1907 when their forcibly annexed and overrun territory was incorporated into the United States as the state of Oklahoma that year. Nowadays many of the Nations are sovereign as you mention, and handle much of their government, which the gamblers pay for in the casinos. In fact I notice that many of them have their own licence plates on their cars etc. I do some contract work for a school on a tribal land in Northern Michigan, it is nice to see they are so self sufficient now, mainly because of the greedy gamblers.

Doesn't something seem backwards here? Bestowing US citizenship on Native Americans? Sigh...... Bruce |

Bruce My Grandfather was one of the ones whom became a citizen of the USA in 1907. Kind of ridiculous when you think about it, because as far back as the stories go, his ancestors lived in what is now the USA. They were forced from their homes in Northern Georgia at gunpoint during the reign of Andrew Jack&$$ and marched to the so called Indian Territory which was said to be theirs for eternity. But in 1889 the so called Indian Territory was opened to settlement by the USA Govt. The feeling I get when I travel in the Nations, is that many like the new autonomy, hopefully soon more and more of the Nations will take on the lead of some such as the Seven Nations of New York which issue passports to their citizens. I do not believe in gaming, but I cannot help but smirk at the irony that it has created, Native Americans getting a steady income from the employment it has created, new homes, nice cars and most of all cutting the ties of dependence on the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I also like seeing busloads of palefaces clamouring to spend their monies in the casinos and the stores, even gas stations which are all cheaper because of the tax exemption. Hopefully soon, a creation of coins, and paper money will follow accordingly in this new autonomous environment. The Shawnee Nation of Oklahoma created Silver Dollars during 2003 and is said to be following up this year as they were so popular. Dave "Tsala Aniyunwiya" --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Unfortunately, the casinos are not a boon to all tribes. I have a
professional relationship with the fire chief, and also general security, for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Three tribes on the reservation that have not resolved differences and maintain seperate settlement areas. In the center there is a resort with a casino. However the casino is well off the beaten track. At a recent conference held there, I visited the casino (donated my $10 to the cause). What I witnessed for the most part were members of the tribe gambling in the casino. Hope against hope of winning the big one. In contrast, the Confederated Tribes of the Grande Ronde have built a highly successful casino on a well traveled route. Gainfully employment for tribal members is apparent, lots of white eyes in the casino ($20 donation this time), and funds spent on charitable programs state wide such as reading programs and other educational and economic development projects. Location, location, location. -- * /?\ /___\ -O=O- ^ AS & His Magic Hat A conclusion is simply the place where you decided to stop thinking. "Scottishmoney" wrote in message ...
