A THUNDER-BEING NATION - Pine Ridge Indian Reservation excerpt on housing

[LetterstoLovers101]

This isn't right...:(

[lafemmefatalle]

Why do some reservations seem flush with money, federal and tribal, nice homes... and others are like Pine Ridge???

Unconscionable!!!

[roaringfirefilms]

@lafemmefatalle They're all independent and sovereign nations, though the US government prevents real sovereignty but much of the disparity between different nations is down to locations. Wealthy casino tribes being nations almost pummeled to extinction but happening to have large populations nearby so the casino's grow fast. Then you have those larger populations on unproductive land in the middle of nowhere.

7 kids??!! that chick must have been wide open, if you know what saying! =D

[befranklintoo]

your sterile responds is a lack of knowing those who are concern and for those

you have a hair up ass about some racist mirror that goya lives off to make him feel just like a racist. dip

Nobody would talk about institutional discrimination, or the effects of the genocide on the souls of these people still grieving the loss of their culture and now forced to adopt to the primitives ways of the savages who invaded them, or the kidnapping of children forbidden from speaking their language or the small pox infected they were given or the murders and torture

.

Because just like slavery, the genocide of natives has supposedly no current effect n must be swept under the rug SMH

it is time to advance your tribes and get some heat by sending the youth to better educational programs.. Forget the politics it is high time to be self sustaining

in a healthful and futuristic way.

I was waiting for some white-supremacy-infected dumbass to say with their condescending tone shit like "advance your tribes". You are the fucking poison destroying the world, with the corrupted shit you call money, development n progress. These people led a SUSTAINABLE life for 12000 years now they are heavenly discriminated against on their own fucking land !!

.

The soil, the water and air are polluted. Thank God the Eurozone and the US are on the brink of collapse

When I see something like this, I always ask what it would mean for me personally. What it meant for me personally, was to look for where the resources are. The resource there is Mother Earth. Mother Earth is the system. I would start planting seeds. Lots of trees, and food. Once the trees are there, you have a huge resource for jobs and change for the positive. I see some trees where you could gather seeds to get stuff started. Mother Earth will give you the tools. Listen to her.

This is an outrage
