The one thing the US can and should do is clarify the situation. If the reservations are sovereign, then they should be treated as such; they are not subject to US/State law, taxes, etc.; they receive no support from the US or the local state; their residents are not US citizens. Alternatively, the Indians *are* American citizens, receive the same support anyone else does, collectively own the reservation land, and receive no special treatment.

Until quite recently, history consisted in large part of one group of people conquering and pillaging another. That’s just the way things were, and you cannot roll the clock. All of the original conquerors *and* victims are long dead; the only thing we can do is decide how to go forward today. The current reservation system is corrupt, and is actually a huge hindrance to the current population living in the reservations. The best thing we could do is to completely eliminate it, as described above.
