That’s not weird. That’s how functional societies reconcile when they aren’t subjected to endless propaganda and fear mongering.
i came to say this. being friends is healthy and normal.
I’m just so fuckin burnt out on xenophobia and i feel like that shit got pushed on me a lot growing up.
That’s just what I’d expect from your kind

No what’s ‘weird’ is so many not understanding that ‘weird’ isn’t automatically negative. or maybe more disturbing that so many automatically go there at first instinct.
“Surprising” or “unexpected” are probably a better words due to connotations and all.
They got the good ending
I still don’t think the natives got the good deal here
Who’s to say?
I was going to joke about an Amish casino, but then I remembered the move Kingpin
True. Ideally the Amish would have a “immigrated”, assimilated, and become another tribe in the area hundreds of years ago. However, this is still a better outcome than the tribes still litigating treaties signed hundreds of years ago, like in Oklahoma.
Need photos this sounds adorable
This post has been up an hour and we have no fucking information this is unacceptable.
That’s not weird, that’s how things should be. Working together.
agreed. technically, both are native.
Well no, the Amish were settlers too. They’re just working with the Indians instead of in spite of the Indians.
they were all born there. we need to stop considering ancestors and consider the living.
We can stop when we actually give them the same opportunities and protections white people get. You don’t get to oppress a population for 500 years and then just act like nothing happened.
did the current, living Amish oppress them? did I? did you? who is the “you” in your sentence?
Apparently it’s you, literally.
This is local politics in action. In a federation this is protected. In a federation this could also be forced on all federated states or banned. In a federal system it is also allowed that damaging actions are outlawed or embraced and cherished by the state. It is all imperfect but the entire idea is the hope that all the various levels of legal authority check and balance themselves for the benefit of the people and are accountable to wrote law.
I am just writing this for people to maybe remember that this is how a federation (see: The United States of America) is fundamentally supposed to function.
Weird, but hey they ain’t hurting nobody, so meh
