[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 181568, member: 8657"] This topic came to mind when this thread began, but I didn't want a posse coming after me- But this is just another ramification of the welfare system that we know and love. I realize that the subject of an Indian Reservation itself could produce threads and posts enough to last a lifetime; we all know the atrocities involved and why reservations came to be. My first spouse was (is) Native American. He was one of the few to leave his reservation and main stream it in another state with the help of family $, which most of these people don't have, so they're stuck. His mother was the Tribal Chairman for the tribe and did improve living conditions. My daughter wasn't raised on a res, never saw one until she was a teen. She lives there now and works for the tribal govt, writing grants to the U.S. Govt asking for $ for nursing homes, schools, paved roads, etc. Anyone who's spent time on a reservation doesn't need to be filled in on the substandard living conditions, the lack of employment, etc. And just as those who have addressed this thread on what the heck to do about lifelong attachments to govt assistance, I also wish there was a remedy for this same problem that affects such a large % of these people.
