We Indians just do not count for anything. The federal govt. lost $90 billion in the trust fund, in the 90's apparently, can't account for it, the Bush spokeswoman for the Bureau of Indian Affairs said "let's be forward looking". It never made the news after that. What else is new?

At least 500000 indians don't count:

"Thousands of individual Indians generally were allotted beneficial ownership of 80- to 160-acre parcels of land in the break-up. As trustee, the government took legal title to the parcels, established an Individual Indian Trust and thereby assumed full responsibility for management of the trust lands. That included the duty to collect and disburse to the Indians any revenues generated by mining, oil and gas extraction, timber operations, grazing or similar activities.
As a result of more than a century of malfeasance, the United States government has no accurate records for hundreds of thousands of Indian beneficiaries nor of billions of dollars owed the class of beneficiaries covered by the lawsuit. The suit encompasses approximately 500,000 Indian beneficiaries."

Oh well, there goes all your "The Jews own all the money and run the world's finances" rhetoric.
p.s. the U.S. census says "White, non-Hispanic". It does not say White not-Jewish. At least, not in the state I live in.
