Why even talk about it?

I'm a bit confused.

Native Americans are no doubt Americans. So too are African Americans, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, and Caucasian Americans.

The Constitution protects us from discrimination because of the color of our skin and our ethnic background.

So why is there even a discussion concerning the Tribes taking over a national forest which belongs to all Americans?

And I don't even want to hear "we were here first." We're all important in our own rights.
