Imagine some VERY violent aliens came to the United States. They raped women. Once women gave birth, they fed those babies to their pets.

They brought intergalactic diseases with them that killed most of the population. Those who survived were often enslaved.

We tried to make peace with them by offering food and technology to survive. They took that from us but also burned our elders at the stake.

Then, to top it all off, they accused the United States of not having a nation, and not having a government. Not a "real" one.

See, these violent aliens (that we were so kind to) have a form of government where EVERYTHING is decided by a computer.

We tell them that's undemocratic — that we vote in elections and stuff. It doesn't matter. Our form of government is considered inferior.

The violent aliens use their definition of superior government as their justification for taking all our land and resources.

The aliens allowed some people from the US to survive. 300 years later, there's still a US culture and a US nation (except a lot smaller).

That's not the exact same thing, but it's a helpful way of thinking about tribal nations in the US.
