Why do Indian Reservations still exist?

[Frodo]

No, they shouldn't be abolished.  Most of them have been established by treaties.  Yes, this country has a bad history with how it dealt with Native Americans; however, the way to solve that is not to violate the treaties we signed with them because we want to "help" them.

I envy New Zealand -the British dealt with all the Maori tribes in one treaty.  We, on the other hand, have had at least hundreds of treaties with numerous tribes/tribal confederations that we have yet to honestly uphold.
