Which Indians do you mean? The Comanches/Apaches etc.? Or the Anasazi who came before them? Or the ones that came even before THEM? They are all VERY different groups, you know, both in culture and in time.
I actually feel that The National Park System is an example of a Federal program (paid with Federal Tax dollars) that works and is a true gift from one generation to the next.
Of course, I am ineligible to vote either way on it.
But if AZ takes it away from The US, who's to say that some Indian Tribe (and their are many in that region - in fact, The Hualapai Tribe built and owns The Skywalk (glass bottom) Bridge on tribal land over The Canyon) wouldn't then similarly challenge ownership in Federal Court?
Shame on AZ, if their citizens are successful in this takeover.
There is no BUT or IF. It ain't never gonna happen regardless of the "sovereign" fantasies of bat****-crazy-been-out-in-the sun-way-too long Arizonans.

The national park is bordered by the Kaibab-Paiute, Havasupai, and Hualapai reservations, so I assume these tribes are the ones that would claim that land.
What gives them any more claim to it than the Anasazi?
I know, the Anasazi are all dead and gone. Well, so are all the Paiute and others who had the land before the palefaces took it from them. None of the present ones, were even born at that time.

So why do ANY of them have any claim?
Because the government gave them the land and made them live there?
Of course now that someone thinks there is money to be made, 'they' want it back.
Not going to happen.
