Do you think the US government should keep the promises it made in Native American Treaties?

Yes, I think the US government should keep their promises that they made in Native American Treaties. Native Americans gave up 90% of their land just to have the permission to hunt whales. Now, the Native Americans no longer have that land, and the US government wants to take away those privileges. There are certain rights given, included in the Constitution that are still in act. These rights/agreements were promised, and signed. Certain treaties were not signed, or may not have been so important to some people, but it was a lot for Native Americans to give up 90% of their land.If there is a law made against hunting whales, what is there for Native Americans? Native Americans need something to survive off of. The treaty, in my opinion, should have been thought about more thoroughly to avoid certain problems.
