What about Native Americans?

I was watching a documentary about the fight for fishing rights in Wisconsin and a thought hit me. Would tRump honor the treaties in full?
Clinton understands that to honor them is to show the world we are true to our word. She knows the world watches everything we do.
But tRump had shown he can't understand that he must watch his step, his words, and even his facial expressions on the stage he is now on.
I don't think he will honor the treaties, he shows no respect to anyone. He only respects the top 1%.

He's all for Eminent Domain, he disrespects NAs every time he sneers "Pocahontas" and wants to negotiate ALL treaties. (For starters) I wouldn't expect him to respect even fishing rights. He's very hostile to the tribes.
