The United States should hold up ownership and control of original, non-privately owned land bases back to tribes. This course of action would end treaty violation, compensate tribes for land takings, prevent bureaucrats from implementing policies that obstruct the ability of Native Americans to participate in their religion, and prevent the serious cultural loss that may occur if the government continues to use Native American land for self-interested purposes. Although the Indian Citizenship coif of 1924 formally made Native Americans United States citizens, Native A mericans currently lack the legal protection that guards other citizens from federal domination (Custo and Henry X). The core popular concepts of fairness, justice, and consent of the governed have not yet been fully realized for tribal people, despite their citizenship (Wilkins 20).
