These Indians do not seek employment whether government or other so I don't include them in any local work statistic. They have welfare and whatever tribal payment they get from oil, gas or farm leases from their chosen area. Pennies really compared to even a modest job. They live in houses that disinigrate around them while they compete for the worst house move to the top of the federal repair or replace list.
What's horrible and sad is that it takes 8 to 12 years for these dilapidated structures to be fixed. Also there is absolute horror to be put upon any poor dog or cat that these people have. Peta should live on an Indian reservation for one week. If they really cared about animals they would be puking after one hour.
Head Start is a big deal here too. Just a bunch of people hanging out to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.Kids? Oh yeah that's what this is all about.
Having lived in Oklahoma for twenty years, where the Indians don’t live on reservations, I was stunned when we drove around the Hardin area in Montana. Very depressing.
