They have NO activist, inciting mob riots, pilliaging and vandilizing and burning and killing, over things they have perceived to not be going their way. Your heart MUST go out to our fellow Native American Indians....do we have any here on this forum? I married a man whose mother was 1/4 Indian.....cant remember what tribe, but out of Oklahoma....a proud, respectful people......so my son has a little in him..... |

I know this is OT, but I could not agree more. It's a forgotten, rotten tragedy that we've destroyed Native Americans. The poverty many of them live in is unimaginable. It's always broken my heart bc I've always had an affinity for them, perhaps bc I've read a lot of books about the history. Sadly, their severe poverty often extends to their animals...we have a reservation not far from here in AZ, and the horses in their yards are often near death with starvation
... which means a call to the local Animal Control. So sad all around.
