Eugenics at work in the Lakota Nation
Russell Means, Lakota activist (my friend Chief Larry who is Cherokee, says "Indian" is ok), has a wonderful website.
We've just gone through a period where the ancestors of slaves elected for President, who is half-Caucasian and doesn't speak of this often. As a country, we do not think of Indian reservations, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, present day poverty, or what we did, as settler/invaders on their lands, to them.
If you read the following article, you will be as horrified as I.
Next election, maybe it's time to elect an American Indian to office. We could learn a lot.

Check out the "Facts" section. You won't believe it. The American government has neglected and ignored the needs of the Indian people. If they (the US government) can reward illegal immigrants with entitlements, then for sure, our native people are entitled to the same.
