Not only do they keep these guys down, hidden outta sight with lack of resources they want to squish them in the mud. Shame on these people. Makes me ashamed we have let this type of abuse go for so long.

I agree, especially considering the day and age we live in. We should be beyond that and embrace and learn from their rich culture.

When is America going to realize that our Gov, Has been slowly destroying the Native peoples rights and their land. Nevermind they say nothing to the public about anything. If any of the things that went on the Res was happening outside of the Res it would be all over the world. DID YOU KNOW THAT 300 CHILDREN DIED OI SD LAST YEAR ALONE on the Res in SD.

I hope this problem gets more publicity, it is worthwhile investigating and solving.

That would be because they're disproportionately poor, not that they're being sought out for racial reasons.
