Lunacy. What indian today suffers from *anything* other than the socialism of the tribal govermental system? Indians deserve not an iota of help as long as they hold the tribal land in common. THAT is why they are poor.

Imagine if the city of Denver owned EVERY bit of property for 50 miles in every direction. Every house, business, etc,, all sat on communally owned land that could not be bought or sold.

It’s the sole reason modern indians are broke. No sympathy here,,, none. Live with the USSR private property rules, reap the benefits.

I am aware of three tribes which have either outright rejected or seriously curtailed tribal socialism-- the Osage, the Navajo and the Utes.

Is it a coincidence that these three are among the best-run and prosperous tribes in the country?
