[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 181590, member: 1664"] Sammie, You touched a subject that is dear to my heart. I am not native American, nor anyone in my family tree. My father was raised in a catholic Indian orphanage(sp) after his father was murdered in 1913. From his experience I learned the effects of reservation life. It is hard for many people to comprehend that a third world nation resides inside of America. Indians did not recieve the right to vote in AZ till 1953, NM till 1955 or56, Utah until 1958. Anyone who has traveled outside of the US and seen the poverty that exists outside of our borders probably could not believe that it exists today inside our borders. Many people only hear how Indians are getting rich building casino's, most do not know or seem to care why they have to take this avenue to try and pay for their own survival. One of the charities I give to every month is a school that educates K thru 12 Lakota chidren from homes that could never provide an education or even the basic structure of a strong family unit. Sorry if it seems I am hijacking this thread with a negative place to spend some vacation time, but maybe it will inspire some. [/QUOTE]
