Native Americans break away from the US

So what happens when the US closes the border with the new "country"? :D

Well with America's supposed "belligerent" attitude to sovereign states I can see an invasion coming.

Apache vs Apache. Who is your money on? :D
 
Sad that the Comanche will not be making an appearance...
 
Self-rule so that those in higher positions can collect tax to line their own pockets.
The so called non-Africans, whites in this country should do the same on a larger scale. we should also get a "Tuisland" where they can dump us and forget about us.

They stated living there would be tax free.

As for your other suggestion, there is a place for you to go, IIRC its called Orania.

As I said, large scale, self-rule, not segregation. An independent country, rather than a bunch of whack jobs living in isolation.

Won't stand up to public opinion. Any politician who would threaten the native Americans would be in for a career suicide. They'll appease them and make a new treaty - this time adding some more welfare benefits.
 
If they pull this off it will certainly fall under the heading "Xmas Miracle"
Considering the way things stand in the U.S. at the moment, with all the profiling, Patriot Act, Anti-terror regulations, the guavament is going to come down on this hard.
It would not surprise me to hear these seperatists being labelled domestic terrorists, and the press being banned from entering the area, and the travel of these documents and people being prohibited.
The chances of a repeat of the Pine Ridge Incident (Wounded Knee) in 1973, all over again , if not worse.

Are they quite powerful politically?

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is a non-story, Not even a whisper in US news sources. Doesn't mean that much but still...if the Americans don't care who does?
