I just get so frustrated when I read this crap. Why don’t they take a look at the real time problems on the reservations today? Particularly Pineridge and the Rosebud?

50% of the children there are physically and sexually abused! Honor your ancestors and fix this horrendous problem for God’s sake. Not to mention the rampet alcohol and drug abuse, unemployment at 90%. Start helping your people now.

Their energy is being wasted by focusing on crap that happened hundreds of years ago.

Decades ago, when I visited my relatives out west, my aunt told me that when uranium was discovered on the Navajo reservations, many of the chiefs were living ostentatiously, while the rest of the people on the reservations were living in poverty.

The money never filtered down, apparently.
