How come Native Americans didn't get self-determination like Israel did?

israel didnt get "self determination"... it was a purely artificially created state.

the British held Palestine... after ww2 europeans decided they needed a way to solve their jewish problem... this wasnt the nazis mind you, these were the "good guys"

so they shuffled jews en masse into British held Palestine...they didnt ask Palestinians what they thought mind you... so Palestine saw a miniscule population of jews grow massively in numbers consisting of foreign born jews who wanted their own state...out of palestinian land.

the "decolonization" began after jews were already conviently moved into british held palestine... the Brits then even more conveniently washed its hands of the matter... and left it to this new organization called the "United Nations" to deal with...wich "coincidentally" consisted mostly of those same European nations that didnt want jews in the first place.... and voila, a new jewish state was "legitimized"

in the usa... there was no 'decolonization"... it was the colonial settlers that broke away and became independent.. we refer to indigenous people in what is now the usa with the term "native americans" as a singular cohesive group... but the fact remains, there was no state or nation or govt. they were a series of tribes in the wild easily brushed aside. what they do have, created after the fact are seperate "sovereign nations" within the usa who hold a measure of autonomy apart from the usa.

whats always interesting about questions like this..is how no one ever sees fit to ask about mexico or canada... in fact, you have the state of mexico...created much in the same veign as the usa... setlers who broke away from spanish rule, yet we hear no question of why native-mexican nations and sovereignty does not exist.... the modern state of mexico and mexicans in fact are thought of as the equivalent of indigenous people. yet its america and americans alone where there is this expectation to turn black the clock in regards to conquest... odd how non-whites ever seems eager to volunteer.

First.....Native American is a modern US term, made to denote their legal relationship with 565 different tribes. Those hundreds of different tribes come from many different Native Nations. Many of those Nations were used to controlling a huge amount of land.....the size of entire states, and larger.........You can't stick completely different Nations from completely different cultures and languages into one State together, hundreds and thousands of miles from their traditional homelands and burial grounds.

Second, it isn't in the US's....or Canada's best interest to do that. There are trillions of dollars in trust, held by both respective governments, that belong to Native Americans and First Nations. Both countries use that money, as part of their regular float. In fact, billions is "missing" from the trusts, that neither government can account for. Were Natives to gain full sovereignty and self-determination, the govts would lose access to that moneys. PLUS, the Reserve systems were put in place, as both govts thought it would only be a few short generations until there were NO more Indians at all. They did their best to make it happen too....Residential/Boarding schools, medical testing, forced sterilzation, fostering Indian children with white Christian families, substandard education, healthcare, housing.

The lands we own....our Reserves/Reservations......was once thought to be wasteland....the lands no one else wanted. Now the governments have come to realize these Reserves sit on top of fresh water, uranium, gold, diamonds, oil, trees for logging....etc. Had they granted the Natives self-determined States, they would have no legal access to these lands, to leach and thieve resources. There are BIG time legal battles going on over that right now, in Canada. Canada is violating treaty and Charter left, right and centre, in order to give mining and gas companies the rights to leach from our Reserves, feet from our homes.

Many other legal and political reasons too...but these are a couple of the bigger ones.

Because they have double standards to suit themselves.
