Correct.
Is there anybody who sees any value whatsoever in paying a native people not to assimilate?
I am part “Indian” myself, probably most Americans are.
Keepers of the land?! Have any of you been to SE Alaska and seen the huge clearcuts up here? A large portion of these logged areas are “Native” lands, and you know what? more power to them, then can log it or conserve it whatever they want to do. The point is, they don’t really give a d@amn about the land.
Europeans were a stronger race of people, with more advanced weaponry, and superior numbers. It was a war for dominance, what don’t people understand about that?
I am tired of the Federal Government continuing to help “Natives” feel sorry for themselves. Get a life!
I believe there are far more Navajo and related tribes than there ever were. They were quick to adapt to the more modern farming and ranching and it paid off for them in a big way.
They are helping themselves very nicely now.
