FL's DeSantis floats idea of revoking Disneyworld's "special governance status," what's that? I didn't know, so, naturally, being a Qtard, I researched it. HUH—since 1967, Disney received a "special governance zone" that's (appropriately enough) the size of San Francisco. Revoke this groomer empire!

I never quite understood the concept of the Native American ‘sovereign nation’ land idea.
My understanding is quite limited, but it follows this particular logic…
If the native population are given such rights, based specifically due to their race/culture/ethnicity. Why can’t this apply to others as well?
Why do we have a 2 tier system in this country? 2 sets of Laws?
Can I identify as a Native American?
If there is intermarriage, which is all too common, at what point or how far back can I go an ‘claim’ I am of Native heritage and take advantage of such laws.
Glad to answer your questions. The land here "belonged" to the natives when europeans got here so they have a right to some of this land. ONLY FAIR. We do have treaties with some of the tribes. And their reservations are sovereign. They have their own police force and their own courts, etc.
You have to prove you are 1/4 native to take advantage of the benefits. The US government gives "royalties" to the tribes for the land we "stole". That check is Substantial for some tribes like the ones in Alaska. (OIL)
You must not live in country or not near a reservation. I had to drive thru a reservation Many many times and one rule was Never drive at night if you were female and don't stop if you don't Have to. But that was a long time ago. Look up Narcissa Whitman from WA state. She was a piece of work let me tell ya.!!
Very interesting, thanks for the write up fren!
