Is it legal for a state to use the power of eminent domain on Native American land?

Native Americans DO have their own government.  It's the same one we have, the US Government !   Who ever heard of the Government taking away any land from Native Americans ?......LMAO !  Keep 'em coming Rosie, I'm having a ball .

No they do have their own governments that are recognized by the Federal government.

Also this is not a Rosie question...Posted by Marguerite Matisse, the Beloved asked it.  LOL

Hello M:

It's NOT just that they have their own government..  They have their own SOVEREIGN NATION...  Seems to me that taking their land would be an act of war.

Pardon me !..... Are you the grammar police and the old  lady that looks for dirty words  too ?

I am not grammar police but I am a mod. (I am only 42...is that an old lady???)

According to govt. they can take whatever they want whenever they want and from whomever they want.

Unfortunately, even when you play by the rules, if you're playing the rule makers you always get screwed.

One would think it an act of war, but that's never stopped our govt. from invading and or striking sovereign nations for resources in the past. Just saying...

Spot on.

Yes I think they can.  They have in the past. 

Don't laugh too hard. Ask the Sioux in Pine Ridge, North Dakota. An oil company is building a pipeline and crossing their land. And using emenint domain.

I'm not Rosie. No, I think they have their own nation.

But they did it, Excon. I want to know how they get away with it!

Yes, but it isn't legal. Maybe they do it anyway.

And ain't that a shame? Seen it way too many times...

Precedent, that's how. When the courts let it fly once, it's defacto law. Well, according to them.

Yep...as have I.
