At least 500000 indians don't count: http://www.indiantrust.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Overview.Home "Thousands of individual Indians generally were allotted beneficial ownership of 80- to 160-acre parcels of land in the break-up. As trustee, the government took legal title to the parcels, established an Individual Indian Trust and thereby assumed full responsibility for management of the trust lands. That included the duty to collect and disburse to the Indians any revenues generated by mining, oil and gas extraction, timber operations, grazing or similar activities. As a result of more than a century of malfeasance, the United States government has no accurate records for hundreds of thousands of Indian beneficiaries nor of billions of dollars owed the class of beneficiaries covered by the lawsuit. The suit encompasses approximately 500,000 Indian beneficiaries."
The Indians were great traders untill that Island of Manhattan thing. Been trying to get out of the hole ever since. Think they may be doing it with that big casino in New England. I'm a wee part Cherokee on my mothers side. The ultimate lesson for all indigenous people is , never, ever wave to a boatload of honkys. The Aztecs and Incas concur.
In fact the real problem is not that they have no records it is that the federal reserve are destroying these documents today ALTHOUGH A JUDGE HAS ASKED THEM TO STOP DOING SO. But the JUSTICE DEPARTMENT told the judge that he has too much intervened wharf wharf ! It was on the attorney's site that I read that 1 year ago I don't remember the link but that is really incredible.
