Taken from a 1980 broadcast (though the spot may have been produced earlier), a public service announcement regarding problems of alcohol abuse among Native Americans.
The PSA would be considered "racist" by today's standards, but the rate of high alcoholism is believed to be pyschological not really genetic, though alcoholism is inherited among families, & how alcohol was introduced to them by white Europeans to put down Native Americans. The problem is Native Americans don't like to be stereotyped as "drunks" or prone to illegal drugs, which the stereotype is shared by African-Americans, in part of similar oppressive social conditions of their communities. +
Resentment takes up a lot of room in the mind. It's like filling your house with piles of smoldering coal so you have no room to sit, no room to sleep, and no room to prepare food.
It's best to clear it away so you have a nice place to live.
@visaman Actually the term "American Indians" is reappearing in our school US History textbooks. I think it's all a matter of changing nomenclature and semantics, that's all.
The noble Arabian horses were bred for the qualities their people love in themselves -- brilliant intelligence, iron will, astounding endurance, and fierce loyalty. I loved reading "King of the Wind" as a child, which inspired me to adopt a wild horse when I was 13.
My horse was a spirited Appaloosa, bred by my Native American ancestors. He could not be controlled, only befriended. Without waiting for a command, he sprinted to carry his world to safety. He was the voice of nature speaking to me.

Didn't the pioneers sell booze to the Indians and stole their land and killed them when they were intoxicated?
