Get rid of the government “help”.
Yes, it seems as if they’ve been helped to death, “literally.”
The author went see what Major League Baseball was doing to help the Indians.
What a ridiculously odd thing to do.
When you give it kills incentive
Why? Because they rode horses, wore armor and had guns!
Going up against a stone age people who didn't even work in metals or the wheel.
The Aztecs may have been as advanced as the ancient Romans, but the ancient Romans by 1492 in European history were well, ancient history.
By then they had become more advanced than The Romans, with things like the Compass, Eyeglasses and Guns.
Charity can be very toxic...
But who convinced the tribes that gambling would be a good business venture over the long run?
“Get rid of the government “help”.”
That’s step one.
Step two is ending the rein of tribal ruling families who take all the government gives, throwing sops to the ordinary tribal Indians who are just used - their ‘plight’ is the ruling families meal ticket. Its the system.
However, most American Indians do not live on the reservations for the above reasons and more.
They did not try a hashtag movement yet! That is the problem!
Seriously, they have corrupted the system so badly that if you let the Indians choose, they would be seduced by the same corrupt leaders who are in bed with the global socialists now.
This is how communism works and why it is so hard to recover.
A strong propensity in their genes to alcoholism sure dorsn’t help
Back when all this started in the 70’s many of us tried to convince the local Treaty Tribes to take the health angle - everything then was ‘new age’ and novel health aid was very big. The tribes have a long history of natural healing medicine, but the ruling families chose the greedy way, throwing their minions to the dogs and encouraging alcohol and drug use to more degrade them in order to gain more cash and other free stuff.
The stuff you see in print is a careful set up by the tribes to make things appear terrible through no fault of their own. Somehow over a century of aid has done nothing to improve their lot ... except for the sometimes black magic practicing ruling families - a certain Wisconsin ruling tribal family gets 5K a month per person just because they are who they are in the tribe (told to me by a tribal member).
Native Americans CAN'T be that great a population, so I would think all the cigarette and casino money could be tapped to help their own.
I think it is in human nature to work. It is also human nature to take a handout. Proponents of the welfare state need only look at the Reservation system to see what the results will be. The government took a group of hardy subsistence cultures and destroyed them in just a couple generations. We did the same thing to poor families with welfare, but it isn’t as apparent because those people still have iPhones and big screen TVs.
Lots of money is spent, but it doesn’t produce good outcomes.
There are no Native Americans.
Just an argument over when everybody’s ancestors got here.
I notice nobody feels sorry for the ebb and flow of conquest that destroyed many European societies over the last 3,000 years.
The “Native Americans” pull up a good fight against the Vikings around 1,000 CE but no match for the technology of 500 years later.
Blacks have the black ghettos in the cities.
Browns have their barrios.
Indians have their reservations.
All three groups are harmed more than helped by being cloistered and somewhat separated from the general population.
The only thing that could help the Indians is to end the reservation concept and bring them out into mainstream America.
But that's never going to happen.
Reservations are very restricted in the kinds of business they are allowed. I lived in Nevada and a local Paiute tribes wanted to open a gas and convenience store. The local chamber of commerce freaked and then the town said they wouldn’t provide fire protection. The tribe had to request fire response from the local Navy base.
Ii havent understood why the American Indians dont act like the countries that have stolen all our jobs? They are their owl little countries with their own tax and legal systems. Why dont they have high dollar medical facilities that dont have to curry to US laws and taxation? Get your knee replaced, get a tax break and gamble a bit while you recover.
Instead they ARE like every other 3rd world shithole in the world. The ones in charge get all the benifits and money and everyone else can work at the Tribal Cultural Center dancing and playing cowboys and indians.
In 1150, Cahokia was larger than any English city
The “reservations” should be closed. The bureau of indian affiars (run by 90+ % indians) should be closed. The indians should integrate into society. The lost their wars.
