Idea: chamber of Congress filled with representatives from each Native American reservation

The Cherokee may be entitled to a tribal delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives under the 1835 Treaty of New Echota.

Uhh we never respected any of our treaties with the natives. I don't see why we would here.

You'd need a minimum limit since 200 or so people getting one rep is a bit too much. Maybe top ten or 15 tribes get a rep?

Agreed. The tribe closest to me has literally a double-digit number of members living on the rez and about the same number living elsewhere. There's no reason they should elect two representatives to a national chamber.

Instead of excluding smaller tribes, I could see maybe "bundling" them into regional constituencies.

They might not take being bundled with a tribe that they potentially hate very well.

And I doubt they would take being excluded altogether well. There's no perfect solutions here.

Toss them a choice. Be given a rep but with other tribes (like list them all) or waiver their rep but get an honorary rep.
