"Just an FYI, Native Americans DO NOT live in tepees. They’re not that hardy nor that stupid."

Yes, we know...

I delivered on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. I can attest that I never saw a sight like that. For the most part, they are good and decent people in spite of the federal government’s efforts to destroy them via handouts.

I grew up in Palm Springs - our Indians were pilars of the community, wealthy (once allowed gambling), upstanding, and supported our HS mascot being the Indians (huge boosters of the HS). They also vote Republican.

Then I moved to South Dakota to run the family farm (which goes up to near Standing Rock). And the Indians here are like the Illegals in CA, except they shun anyone who wants to actually succeed. The reservations here are horrible because they want it that way. And if you don’t vote lib (as the chief tells you) you are kicked off and on your own. I know one nice gay Indian guy who when he first left the Rez acted like he was going to get killed by them. Now he has some more confidence and is starting to act as normal as can be expected.
