Why is the notion of Sovereignty not understood? Of course most Whites have a problem with Natives governing their own civil matters on their own lands. The Indian Nation and America are two separate distinct nations, always has been. It was promised by one your earliest President's that we shall be two nations, that the Indian nation will always be a sovereign entity, as long as the rivers flow or the Sun rises or whatever flowery poetic crap was spoken with a forked tongue at the time.  One rotten apple spoils the bushel, the solution is simple, remove it. I think people who live in remote regions who have limited jail space, maybe no jail at all, no programs to rehabilitate, no time to babysit, that banishment is a viable option. By the way, happy Columbus day.
