There are problems on the Pine Ridge rez that go well beyond a “little scary.”

Ditto. Spent a year with Wife during Her public health payback on Pine Ridge and Rosebud. Another government health service success. [/sarc]

Maybe poor health service is still better than a medicine man shaking beads around you.

But then we all may be looking for underground medicine men once Obamacare begins.

Grew up near a rez.

The government destroyed the Indians completely. They put them in a ghetto, fed them and allowed to live on welfare for all of their lives.

The results are quite sad. The better tribes are trying to pull themselves out of the spiral, and some of the Indians have decided it is better to leave. Many of my class mates growing up did that, and are very happy they did.

No, look at what the government did to the Indians, and now look at the inner cities. Part of me think it is on purpose.
