Hello,

I am a new subscriber to this list looking for some informations. There
are rumours in our press that one of the larger Native American nations
may have followed the Slovenian/Croatian example declaring sovereignty
from the United States. Does anyone have details?

[ I strongly suspect that Andreas is referring to the story I relayed
earlier today under the title "Lakota to Declare Independence from the U.S.":

| In a historic summit meeting in South Dakota, leaders of the Lakota
| Sioux, Cheyenne and other Native American tribes will declare their
| total separation from the United States, denouncing their "illegal"
| citizenship according to 19th century treaties...

If anyone has more details on this development, please send them to the
list at the address "nn.general@gnosys.svle.ma.us" (or "native-l@tamvm1"
for LISTSERV subscribers, if they prefer).
