Inherent rights is a really touchy subject for several reasons. We've never given up our inherent rights. What are they talking about when they say “inherent rights”? Do they mean our inherent right to go out and hunt and fish for our families, our inherent right to get a proper education, to get proper health care, proper housing? The term “inherent rights” is really broad. Unless we put something in there saying what “inherent rights” would mean, it's just like the Daniels case when it came down. It said that we're all Indians and that we should all be treated the same, and that hasn't happened yet.
If we want something passed under this bill, it would have to be pretty simple for the government to say yes, because when you say “inherent rights”, I would think that you're talking about just what I said: the hunting, the fishing and whatnot. That's my view on that.
