Preamble:

Whereas Native Americans have lost their land through American belligerance, and

Whereas it is the duty of any civilized people to return the property and dignity of those assaulted, and

Whereas no one should have their homes denied to them or their decendents, and

Whereas union is the principle policy of a civilized people.

Section 2: The various Native tribes will, by general vote within each tribe, determine which plots of land, which is now legally theirs, will become a park protected from any development.

Section 3: Any Native land which is not determined to become a park nor is currently being used residentially nor commerically will be divided into equal plots and handed out to the tribe's people. Any native who currently has land that is less acerage than the plots to be handed out will receieve land until they have an equal acerage; those who have more land than what is to be handed out will keep what they own and will not recieve any more. The land that is handed out will become the private property of its recepiants.

All current residents of reservations will be automatically granted full citizenship as a natural born citizen will all rights and immunities.
