As they were designed to be in the 19th century, to keep the defeated Indians docile and "on the reservation."

Your statement would seem to prove the article's point, don't you think?

I agree. The bottom line, it cannot continue as it is. Slavery wss abolished how many years ago?

Case in point, the Pine Ridge Indian rez, one of if not the poorest in the country, just sent a house to DEE CEE, for the purpose of show and tell. The rez needs more housing. It is an example also of what happens to housing over time on the rez.

It is also an example of why Socialism is a failure, and the rez, should I say any rez, probably not, is the best example of that failure in the USA.

It cannot continue, the Indian’s know it, and we who support them, know it.

...and let me say in closing, the indian people, are people like you and me, led poorly, and enslaved by the treaties meant to help them. Yet they continue to be patriotic supporters of the country, and many have served proudly and given their lives in past conflicts as part of the armed forces of the USA.

All that remains is a solution to the socialist slavery they are NOT forced to live under, but by coersion and familial if not tribal tradition, they return again and again to the rez roots which looks upon success, as something bad, that places you above the family and more like white than red. Sort of abandoning your roots. Most of the really choice folks realize that abandoning the rez and the way of life, is the only way out of socialist slavery.
