Indians have no one to blame for their alcoholism and drug abuse except themselves.
There is a distinct genetic marker in Indian tribes, certain ones more than others, for intolerance of alcohol and easy addiction. Not an excuse, because having the willpower to say no is a matter of character- and the chiefs realized this, too late. The susceptibility to alcohol noted early on by the settlers.
Not unlike the Mayan/Incan royalty controlling huge labor sources through the use of the sacred...coca leaf chewed with limestone powder— work all day at high altitudes with no hunger, and wraith thin junkies. Natural systems of control. Which apparently black lives matter types, and the pro-pot crowd do not recognize, in their zeal to “legalize”— they are signing cultural death warrant vs. having the guts to say-—”hell no”.
