I was just thinking the other day about how odd it is that Native Americans are so rarely in the news. We all live on the former homeland of the indigenous and I'm lucky to briefly hear about an indigenous person mentioned once a year. The last time I heard about an indigenous person mentioned it was because a police officer shot him. Even during the campaign season, I never hear of a politician visiting a reservation or hear about a poll of Native American opinion. I hate the mainstream media.

Once upon a time there were primitive savages all across America. Then came the White Man from Europe. Whitey kicked the savages's asses something awful. When he couldn't do that, he swindled them with phony treaties and crap like that. Finally Whitey owned pretty much everything, except for a few "reservations" with special privileges for descendants of the savages. Then the savages got smart, hired some lawyers, built gambling casinos, got rich and lived happily ever after. End of story.
