It could be a communist state today, a democracy tomorrow, and a dictatorship the next day. That creates the potential for well over 500 separate nations, based solely on race, of a possibly un democratic nature, on American soil - scattered throughout American society, yet totally outside our control. We must all be very suspicious that this might be the ultimate goal of the Oneida Tribal government. Our nation has intervened, with force, in other nations who treat their own citizens in this fashion. Any segregation is wrong for America, no matter whether it is done to or for any specific group - especially racial groups.
Segregation leads to discrimination, which in turn leads to prejudice and hate.
Forced to do research, I've learned that much of what we've been told is simply not true. They were farmers and landowners. None by our governments or people against the Oneidas. New York State paid the Oneidas 16 times as much per acre as the United States paid France for the Louisiana Purchase and 50 times as much per acre as the U.S. and others paid the Menominee Indians of Wisconsin to buy land from them for the Oneidas. To be fair, I presume the federal government should, based on any settlement with the Oneidas, pay France 16 times that per acre figure for the millions of acres in the Louisiana Purchase and 50 times the per acre Oneida settlement price to the Menominee Indians, who really got the short end of the stick from the U.S. government in this whole Oneida land issue.
