Get rid of the government “help”.
The author went see what Major League Baseball was doing to help the Indians.
What a ridiculously odd thing to do.
When you give it kills incentive
Why? Because they rode horses, wore armor and had guns!
Going up against a stone age people who didn't even work in metals or the wheel.
The Aztecs may have been as advanced as the ancient Romans, but the ancient Romans by 1492 in European history were well, ancient history.
By then they had become more advanced than The Romans, with things like the Compass, Eyeglasses and Guns.
They did not try a hashtag movement yet! That is the problem!
Seriously, they have corrupted the system so badly that if you let the Indians choose, they would be seduced by the same corrupt leaders who are in bed with the global socialists now.
This is how communism works and why it is so hard to recover.
A strong propensity in their genes to alcoholism sure dorsn’t help
I think it is in human nature to work. It is also human nature to take a handout. Proponents of the welfare state need only look at the Reservation system to see what the results will be. The government took a group of hardy subsistence cultures and destroyed them in just a couple generations. We did the same thing to poor families with welfare, but it isn’t as apparent because those people still have iPhones and big screen TVs.
There are no Native Americans.
Just an argument over when everybody’s ancestors got here.
I notice nobody feels sorry for the ebb and flow of conquest that destroyed many European societies over the last 3,000 years.
The “Native Americans” pull up a good fight against the Vikings around 1,000 CE but no match for the technology of 500 years later.
Amen to that... The corruption of native 'leaders' is appalling.... In Canada it has been revealed that some reservation chiefs have been making themselves wealthy from the billions in aid given to band councils and they have enriched themselves and their families rather than helping their entire community.
CBC - Some native chiefs earn more than PM: tax watchdog November 2010 - ..."The data shows that 222 aboriginal chiefs and counselors from First Nations communities across Canada earn more money than their provincial premiers, and 82 make more than the prime minister.
"There's a pretty atrocious example coming from [the] Maritimes, $978,000 tax-free … for someone off-reserve," said Craig. "That's for a community of about 304 people. "It's disgusting this is going on in Canada."
National Post - B.C. First Nations chief and family paid more than $4.1M over last four years
November 2014 - OTTAWA — An elderly B.C. First Nations chief and his ex-wife, along with one of their sons and a grandson, received more than $4.1-million in remuneration over the past four years.
Shuswap First Nation Chief Paul Sam, 80, gets a tax-free salary that has averaged $264,000 over that period to run a tiny reserve near Invermere, a resort community near the Alberta border.
The Shuswap have 267 members, of whom just 87 live on the reserve.
His son, Dean Martin, is doing even better, with an average annual annual salary of $536,000 over the period running a band corporation that operates various businesses on and near the reserve.
The figures were provided this week to The Vancouver Sun by disgruntled Shuswap members who are challenging in next month’s election a family that has ruled for more than three decades.
The reservation system needs to be abolished and the billions allotted yearly should be distributed equally amongst all native persons.
I contacted Major League Baseball to find out what they are doing to help American Indians. This is because Commissioner Rob Manfred has pressed the Cleveland Indians to rid themselves of their long-time symbol, Chief Wahoo.
-
The Cleveland Indians have a logo that honors American Indians (at least as any rational person would see it) and that somehow obligates them to “help” American Indians?
Best long-term solution? Abolish reservations.
What’s the problem? Don’t Native Americans go to state universities tuition-free? They can’t find the universities?
They have all the help they need. They just do nothing with it.
What struck me when I drove west in 2014 was the number of Indians that lived in isolated trailers in New Mexico. The ancient Indians developed adobe which was perfect for insulation and for moderate temperature controls. The thick walls meant a cooler interior during the day and warmer at night. But now they are living in sweltering, poorly insulated trailers. It doesn’t make sense to me.
I’ve known several Indians who were very successful....to a tee they left the reservation and got real jobs. Welfare has done the same thing to the indians it did to the blacks!!!
I had a dear friend who was a Seneca Indian...lived on the Reservation near Buffalo. She said the young men are all on drugs and booze and there is absolutely no discipline. She said all the good ones have gone BACK to Canada.
Help them with nothing until they accept assimilation into American culture.
We don’t need any more diversity crap.
In another feel-good moment, some cities are renaming Columbus Day as Indigenous People’s Day.
...
America has no indigenous people. They settled here first, but originated elsewhere.
The only place with indigenous people is Africa.
