Greetings:
	Morally speaking, there are no U.S. OR State laws which apply on any
Indian Reservation, and the least we can do for Indians is allow them what
little soverignty they have left over the few pieces of this continent which
we *didn't* steal from them.  Few are the treaties Uncle Sam made with the
Indian Nations which he did not subsequently abrogate.  Off the reservation,
they have to abide by all the local laws, but on their reservations they are
truly in their own soverign nations.  The fact that Uncle Sam manages to
exert Federal Law over same would seem dubious at best.
