Charity is not the business of Governance. Philanthropists, churches and charitable organizations can address charity and Government must stick to the business of the Governed. What is the legal genomic requirement to be met to qualify as a treaty tribal member entitled to rights beyond those of the majority of U.S. citizens ? 100% ?, 50% ?, 25% ? or ? Ponder that and then ponder why there is any need to do so. This bloodline quest to discriminate is a complete absurdity. You are sovereign or you are not. You are U.S. citizens or you are not. Jumping back and forth to which status may best serve in the moment is not only unjust, it is the very definition of discrimination. The abused and their abusers no longer live. Those with indigenous ancestry like Jamestown and Elwah tribal members are friends and neighbors. They are not being best served by convincing them they need special rights beyond all other citizens of this nation.

Perhaps the money to be spent on signage in restrooms could be better used by spending that money to clean up those spaces that are used regularly by drug abusers.
