Stop begging whitey for handouts. Go back across the Bering Straits if you are so miserable. Newsflash: the Indo-Europeans came to North America first.
Personally, I don’t … Personally, I don’t see anything that can’t be fixed with alcohol and drug treatment programs. Free housing, monthly stipends on money and food, free schooling and college !!! this is offered to all who live on the res. WO LAKOTA !! TA CHECTA LE….. to the lazy and the addicts I say, WACHEECHELA !!!! We have the tools, we just don’t use them !
I have lived there … I have lived there and helped to build Habitit houses when i could. My heart crys when I see these horrible condictions. I am seeking help of a movie producer to run a full lenght video film showing the government wrongs and corruptions within the system. Broken promises and lack of funding from a government the can manipulate must come to an end. We as a community can do something with good leadership. Mitakuye Oyasin

this me off! … this me off! I tried to get the state to help these people a few years back and no one would return my calls–so i sent grant sites to someone i knew there hoping this would help–i hope they won the grants and get heat and good food, health for the people–how can america let this happen to people? irina
My family lived … My family lived like this in Louisiana. My uncles left and move to Texas in the 1960′s. They were concerned about losing our Creole culture and being lost in Texas. So they married woman from Louisiana. Our family has since produced professional people because they left a poor state. We are now doctors, lawyers, professional football players, business owner and engineers. We visit Louisiana for family reunion and own land there but its still a poor state.

@prepschoolkid Its … @prepschoolkid Its a shame that my native brothers have forgotten the “warroir” way and provide for and protect the people and teach/lead the young ones. What happened to the proud warriors of the native nations???? Just about every ethnic group in the world provides for their own. what happened?/??
I know its hard to … I know its hard to be native and hard to be Human but it isnt hard to pick up the trash around your home then start picking up trash around your neighborhood a little at a time you’ll relize the little piece of land you live on is beautiful and god givin. The one day buy a hammer then the next time some nails a little at a time and you can make a better home.

Well, The Rez Isnt … Well, The Rez Isnt Bad, Its Just The People Are Making It Bad. They Make Bad Choices For The Rez. But We Are Lakota! We Are Trying To Fight The Bad Things! Like We’re Supposed To! …anyways..
I have lived on 3 … I have lived on 3 different Rez’s in my lifetime and they were all living below the poverty level. I see alot of Native people that go to college and then return to try and help their people. But, all the bureacracy is too much to try and go thru. WHY CAN’T THEY JUST TREAT NATIVE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME RESPECT THEY WOULD TREAT THEIR PET.S They care for their animals more than they do Indian people in the world today! WE don’t want much is that too much to ask for.
@DandeloNineteen @ … @DandeloNineteen @DandeloNineteen Then you weren’t really looking at the big picture, just the outskirts. HOW would you know the problems of the people there. DID you ask anyone if they needed help. Did anyone from where you live try and help anyone. THAT’S THE WHOLE PROBLEM, NOBODY SEE’S THE PROBLEMS. LOOK HARDER next time and find out if your help is needed and make yourself available to help other;s in your area where you live. That’s what humanity is all about.
@beone011 I can … @beone011 I can understand your ideas and we do that but who want’s to leave the rest of their people in poverty? that’s what non-indian people do to their weak & suffering, WE NATIVE PEOPLE AREN’T LIKE THAT. OF COURSE WE COULD LEAVE & DO GOOD ON OUR OWN, WE WANT ADVANTAGES FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR OURSELVES, WE ARE NOT GREEDY LIKE OTHER KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY! That is why we are Indian, we believe in helping our Elders and our young and we don’t just run out on problems.
