I don't mind if they secede but only as long as WE get to annex/retain the public lands, they can't have those... YNP and other great parts of the land that is not so heavily occupied but getting there. They can't take the crown jewels with them... and the Indians still remain sovereign and maybe get some land back too.

They can't secede and take the reservations over, we owe that to the indigenous peoples at the very least... especially when so many of them serve in the military. And speaking of the Indians, did anyone notice that as the minorities in FL, OH, AZ were suffering voter suppression tactics, the reservations had it disproportionately worse than any of those? They are citizens with voting rights too and have been severely excluded due to rednekedess for too long, in the western states in particular.
