I'll admit I'm not a fan of the Native uprising. If we went through with it, this would be the third time a portion of the US attempted to break free in the last ten years. The US is finally at a point to where it's back to mostly being the country it used to be and I would really like to keep it intact at least for a little while. Plus, just from looking at the population figures of the US in 1980 only about .06 percent of the people in the census were Native Americans. That's a lot but not enough to take a significant amount of territory and continuously keep it out of enemy hands. Granted this is alternate history we're doing and this version of 1980 is different than the one we knew, but I still don't imagine a large enough Native force could pose enough of a threat to the US to get independence.
