whose fault is the pitiful situation at Pine Ridge?====>the federal government's fault, that whose.

until the government allows Indians to do things for themselves , starts treating us EQUALLY as other citizens are treated & gives us our TRUST MONEY back ( about TWO BILLION DOLLARS), nothing is going to change for the better on any reservation.

you might look at the way that the BIA treats Indians. THAT is what YOU have to look forward to as a white American if the socialist/statist/LIBs get their way!

1) If the gub'ment owes you money, they should give it back & right now. It's not theirs.

2) They should treat you equally. As other citizens. I AGREE!
In fact, you should all be made citizens!

Revoke the Sovereign status of the reservations (which was a crime -- a human rights violation of the first order) and have you all equal under the law. Would you voluntarily relinquish the reservation system we know today for a future that has no BIA? Equal political power as citizens? The money that was kept from you (for "your own good", no doubt) returned so that you can make of it what you will?

The flip side, of course is that you would have the responsibilities of citizenship (too numerous to post here).


Looks like you & I agree my friend. How's sez you?

ps: Who said I was white?
