Your point?
Nation-within-a-nation has been a model for redress for violations of sovereignty for many years. You do realize that many Native American governments already do exist within the borders of the US, right? They already are their own nation.

I shall call it Petoria! I would call it Peterland but that gay bar down by the airport already took it.

Yea rules are different one reservations.
Fireworks are legal there (Either that, or the people selling them openly just don't care and no one enforces them)

If Russel Means wasn't heading this, I would think they were serious.

I think that's awesome, considering I hate how America is being run these days, and how everyone seems to think being a wuss and being gay are the cool things to be.

NOTE: That was not meant to offend the gay population, it was just a notation of modern fashion trends.

Sorry man, but this cowtowing to the gays, and making it seem like its the "cool" and all is a serious indication of the moral fiber of this country and where we are headed.
It isn't so much a matter of me hating gays or wishing them any harm and all that, but I am a big fan of "don't ask, don't tell" in that dept. and think things were a whole lot better when it wasn't all in the wide open and considered part of normality.

Yes I know I am a bigoted hater and all that mess....so be it.

I honestly have no problem with gays, just as long as they're normal about it. What I mean by normal is, they don't try to dress like women (or vise-versa), and they don't flaunt around in those stupid bird and Mardi Gras costumes. I hate that.

Anyways, back on topic...

They'll be back when we stop cutting the checks... check out the amount of money tribes get in US grants.... the tribe is often the only self supporting "job" available, and when the tribe stops getting money from the US... oops!

And Means is a joke, he's not an elected leader of any of the tribes he "represents" despite trying early and often to be elected.

They can open a casino?

They can open a casino regardless of whatever status change they wish to implement.

Does This Mean We Can Bomb Them?
