Broken Promises in Treaties
The complicated relationship between the Native American tribes and the U.
S. government is outlined in this quote:
Indian Nations had always been considered as distinct, independent political
communities, retaining their original natural right, as the undisputed
possessors of the soil . . . The very term "nation," so generally applied to
them, means "a people distinct from others."
John Marshall, 1832
Worcester v. Georgia,
31 U.S. (6 Pet.) 515,561.
