There is no doubt that it is one of the poorest areas in the nation. There is also no doubt that millions and millions of dollars have been poured into the reservations and the monies mismanaged by the tribe. Having lived near and worked on projects on the reservation. I have seen newly built government homes reduced to rubble by the residents in months and on the other side seen ranches thrive and monies put to good use.. So there are two sides to the coin.

@badlandsnative65 I can say the same thing about corporations except we are talking billions not millions of mismanaged monies. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water.

@badlandsnative65 This summer we drove through Allen's road construction (on the rez) and filmed it. The workers were on their lunch break or something in was 10am. And those workers were not from the rez. At 90% unemployment you think they could hire some of the local residents to do road contruction. I don't know about you but I have my boys clean their own room, I don't have someone else do it for them.

Ok, first: I don't doubt the plight of the people there.

However it is another thing with the dogs. At least the dogs in the video don't look starved at all. They are in top shape especially when you consider that it is winter when many wolves and coyotes die (and eat their dead) as well. An if that one grey dog is feral his condition in the video marks him as a successfull survivor, not a poor victim.

@inotaishu1 Thank you for your opinion. I am not an expert on dogs, wolves or coyotes so I am glad they are not starving. It was really sad. An update though, the packs of dogs or coyotes have disappeared.

[inotaishu1]

@pushthelimit Some people might tell you that the coat is deceiving but it is not that deceiving. Potruding hips and slim waists can be seen easily. I guess if both dogs and coyotes have dissapeared they probably got killed. And least that is a very common way to deal with them.

Any idea how long they lived there? I mean based on the video obviously long enough to form social groups.

[pushthelimit]

@inotaishu1 I have known them to be there for over fifty years. I couldn't imagine anyone from the rez killing them. A few comments said they wish they could rescue the dogs and kill the Indians. I will hope hey were rescued.

Its a GODDAMN SHAME that this fuckin society has stolen native american resources and land, make obscene profits of of it, call native americans savages, herd em onto reservations(aka concentration camps) and reduce them to being poorest people in the nation. We built the mightiest and wealthiest nation in the world off of their land and their backs and they get next to muthafuckin nothing

[Hmonks]

we spend 700 billion on are military, and yet we can't even feed our country, poor excuse to call us a superpower,

[swishfoot]

But its not just the Pine Ridge Rez, just about every Rez is poor like this.
