You would think that people would get it through their heads not to take what isn't theirs, but they still do. They forget about promises made long ago to a brave nation of Indians and keep doing it today.
Since They [Native American Indians] withstood everything dished out from the numerous wars, illnesses, movement from settlement to settlement, we now ignore them and give them 3rd world living arrangements.
I, myself, am ashamed of the way they have been treated from the past and the way they are still treated now.
I'm not a full-blooded Indian, but I had ancestors who were. I don't see how we can possibly sit back and just watch them starve to death and just shrug it off and go about our daily lives. To me that's cruel and unusual punishment!!!
I wonder how fast things would change if we could turn things around? Let those in power live 1 full year out there and those in poverty on the reservations be in the positions of power. I wonder if they'll start to see things differently then? Oh, I bet they would!
Without their money, servants, homes, jobs, healthy food, transportation, power. I bet they wouldn't even last a week out there...maybe even a full 24 hours.
And Native Americans have been living like that for 100's of years. All the more to Native Americans!
I'll help the best way I can. How about any of the rest of you? Do I have any takers?
If we don't do something quick we may lose a wonder group of Americans who make our Country Unique and Fresh. I don't want that to happen.
