How many treaties with the Native Americans has the government has broken?

Nevermind the number. It is "All of them". This is not bombastic or exaggeration, it is simple truth.

That’s patently false. The reservations are still observed by the government. If all of them were broken the reservations would just be gone.

This assumes the reservations were the product of treaties.

They aren't.

The reservations were very one sided. Not a treaty!

Prove me wrong. I welcome it.

They aren't allowed to control their mineral rights. Just one of many injustices these sovereign nations are subjected to.

Thank you for using the correct terminology! Sovereign nations… yes.
