So.... Box Elder or Pattaya Beach... dunno yet.


My Dad taught bio over 35 years and we lived next to the Chippewas Rez in NW Wi. He tried for over 35 years to recruit members' kids from the tribe to go to U of Mn or U of WI. He had free ride scholarships set up their kids and spoke often to tribal council and was shutdown because they didn't want the white man to brainwash their children. So they dropped out of school at 16 and became alcoholics, drug addicts and baby makers. Some were really bright but they receive ed their casino check every month so why study and work and improve your lot in life. Endless cycle of poverty.
