I look at as the Supreme Court of a colonized country deciding what can happen to land that originally belonged to indigenous populations so I look at it from there. I was even afraid to point that out but I'm not asking for radical changes just that the treaties already agreed upon be respected.

I also look at it as Trump not respecting treaties so him doing it in the first place is the problem. Trump is a lot like a 1700s or 1800s President and I don't mean that in a good way.
