>“The federal government promised the (Muscogee Creek Nation) a reservation in perpetuity,” Gorsuch wrote, adding that while Congress has “diminished” the sanctuary over time, lawmakers had “never withdrawn the promised reservation.” >“As a result, many of the arguments before us today follow a sadly familiar pattern. Yes, promises were made, but the price of keeping them has become too great, so now we should just cast a blind eye. We reject that thinking.” Obviously there are many other details that have to do with the American legal system and I won't claim I understand them all, but if the federal government promised a land and natives could live there without disturbing anyone and this promise wasn't kept, that would mean that the federal government wasn't a reliable conversationist. It would be even counterproductive for the general good, as segregation solves a lot of friction, though obviously US interior policy has long now been against segregation.
