I delivered on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. I can attest that I never saw a sight like that. For the most part, they are good and decent people in spite of the federal government’s efforts to destroy them via handouts.

So true, I have lived in the 4 corners almost 50yrs and as the reservation pics show is that the ‘rez’ is the death spiral to tribes. All handouts, no work. Truly native ghettos by fed and tribal govts by design. The Navajos, a LOT of them refuse to live on the rez and move off, are employed, buy houses, go to school, incorporate into the rest of the surrounding population. You can’t ask for a harder working and prouder population than the rez native that has escaped the hellholes made for them.
Everyone I know...is doing pretty well.
