Orchant of C. Gars feels it is the best in the H. Upmann range and we agree. Hoyo de Monterrey. Thinking about having an Irish Whiskey and a cigar? Punch cigars Punch. Subtly powerful yet smooth, a Punch cigar has a rich, leathery finish.

The Double Corona is a perfect match for a snifter of X. Vegas Robaina. Medium-full in flavor; the Vegas Robaina is one of the most complex and spicy Havanas around and perfect for any time after lunch and well into the evening.

But one tribe near me has been recognized, and they hold no land. I was just wondering if it would be allowable while there. Might be a bit different with the Indian reservations, however. Nevertheless, this is a little primer for you dopers out there. Congress reserves the right to regulate trade between the various nations, the states, and Indian tribes. As brief as this, it is heavy stuff.

It affirms a direct, government to government relationship between the United States and tribes. You know how many references there are in the Constitution to freedom of speech, right to bear arms, and fair trials?

Any land transactions with Indian tribes not approved by Congress is void. For reasons above and below discussed, statute of limitations, laches, and other defenses offered by land-grabbers do not apply. Until the late 19th Century, the United States made official agreements with Indian tribes by treaty, as the U. Treaty law is the highest law of the land outside of Constitutional law.

The only other places in the world where their status is similar are Canada and New Zealand, and perhaps Australia. However, as is obvious to anyone who has visited a reservation, Indian tribes have had a bad run of things.

It was only after government corruption was brought under heel trust me, it was worse than it is now that tribal rights began to be accepted by the two branches of government other than the Supreme Court.

The federal government now accepts the fact that it has violated its own law and principles in dealing with American Indians, and realizes that it now has a responsibility to attend to the needs of the shattered Indian nations, because they are the ones who allowed tribes to sink to the state they are in now.

To do otherwise would be to acknowledge that the United States does not follow its own law, and therefore is not a viable political entity.

However, sheaves of case law, probably too much to effectively combat, indicate that tribes exist at the pleasure of Congress. Like states, they hold all the rights of states, excepting the ones that Congress has taken away. Volume 25 of the Code of Federal Regulations can be viewed as a list of rights that have been taken away by Congress, and it weighs in at about a thousand pages. One well-worded rider tacked onto an appropriations bill could effectively destroy the status of theses proud, noble, and horribly mistreated people.

This has been attempted, by Slade Gorton. Nevertheless, tribal governments notice I do not say Indians—the feds only recognize the government and leave determination of tribal rolls to tribes themselves, within defined limits do retain many rights that other less-than-foreign entities do not. As a result, tribes are becoming increasingly savvy in the use of litigation, lobbyists and campaign contributions to defend the precious status they hold, while attempting to improve their own lot through innovative exercise of their status.

Did I mention that most Indian tribes, and their members, are extremely poor, the poorest in my country? Usually, a tribe will attempt to exploit an advantage, say, to fishing or water and riparian rights, state tax-free cigarettes, liquor, or gasoline, waste disposal or gambling, and state and local lobbies immediately petition Congress to take these rights away from tribes.

A compromise is usually reached, and each compromise erodes a little bit more of Indian sovereignty. Gaming, which was perfectly legal on sovereign Indian reservations who allowed it, is now tightly controlled by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

About one fifth of Indian tribes have negotiated compacts with the states they are located in to develop casinos or other gaming centers. Most pay for themselves and give a small surplus for tribes to develop other much-needed facilities.
