American Indian Rights
|
Status Quo Option: Keep the Existing Plank. For all platform categories
we have the option of doing nothing; that is accepting what the LP already
has.

The LP Platform Currently Reads
The Issue: The rights of American Indians have
been usurped over the years.
The Principle: Individuals should be free to
select their own citizenship, and tribes should be free to select the level
of autonomy the tribe wishes.
Solutions: Indians should have their property
rights restored, including rights of easement, access, hunting, and fishing.
Transition: The Bureau of Indian Affairs should be abolished
leaving tribal members to determine their own system of governance. Negotiations
should be undertaken to resolve all outstanding differences between the tribes
[If you think the current LP position on this subject is acceptable, then
vote "yes" below. If not, vote "no" below. Either way, please consider the
other options listed on the right sidebar and vote "yes" for all that you
like and "no" for all that you dislike. This is an approval vote; you get
to vote for all of the options that you like.]
