I hope the weekend treated you kindly. Here's your tidbit for the day.
What is a treaty? A treaty is not a law, and it only
pertains to those who have signed it and are a part of the party that signed
it. Treaties are made between sovereign nations, and the United States has
signed more than 300 treaties. Signing these treaties, in the beginning, was a
way for the United States to show other countries that they too, are in
agreeance with the people in their country. There are treaties still into
effect to this day. Some of these treaties even let those that are not a part
of a tribe, to live on the land that that tribe owns.
Remember that these treaties are apart of American Indian's history. Just as we would want people to respect our history, we need to be respectful of theirs. We all are deserving.
