In 1787, the U.S. signed an agreement to provide Native Americans with free healthcare on reservations. Yet today, Native American health fares poorer than the average American in cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, HIV, and infant mortality.

I was sent this link this morning and watched it through a flood of tears. It is beautiful and disturbing at the same time. Full of wisdom that the capitalist Western World just does not get. It's disappointing that the website has raised a mere $200 since May 1. I think if you only donate to one group this year, this should be the one (MHO). Help them get the message out to the masses of people who are completely oblivious to the facts:

Thanks everyone!

Sue, I sent you a message and will help you.

Nora, that's an amazing video. I will also donate to them. I clicked through to youtube and found other videos in this series, like Indigenous Native American Prophecy Part 1 also with Floyd Red Crow Westerman (Ten Bears in Dances With Wolves) narrating. Everyone needs to watch these videos. The wisdom of Native Americans is our most important heritage IMHO.

Sorry I am not interested in promoting health care for 'some' Americans but not others. I'll sign a petition for health care for all Americans. Or death to insurance company executives.

Thanxxxxxxxxxxx Tom... healthcare should be for all, it is about time the Native Americans were treated as equals, if we can do it here in South Africa, surely the USA can do it tooooooooooo... God created all men equal, and we are created in His image so why the difference... Hope they will be blessed equally.
