Those that live on the res. say that there are 2 kinds of people there. The reds & the apples. they are all the same except that the apples are red on the outside but white on the inside.
Truth^^^
My experience is....if you work and acquire nice things...you are white.
If you don't work and live in poverty, you are an Indian.
This is maybe the biggest obstacle to overcome, as I see it, and has been handed down and is now inter-generational, up here anyways.
It is up to the elders and community leaders to "fix" it...not government.
I have a Brother from the same Mother and Father
He is as White as you get the same as I am
He has been doing Indian Dance since he was around 17 or 18 he is now in his mid to late 60s.
He has been adopted into to Indian Family's that live on one of the Reservations in Montana.
He has pretty much disowned our Family at least that is what he tells us but when I call him he is like any other Brother and we have good conversations as long as we do not bring up Politics.
He takes trips to the Res. every chance he gets and he would move out there at the drop of a hat if his wife would move there.
He is deep in their religion and I do not have a problem with that at all. My other family members do. That is their problem.
Montana from what I have been told is a Very Beautiful State.
He still posts on Facebook how GREAT his hero Obummer is and was for this Country.
When I was staying with him to help with my dads last days.
That was when the young boy in DC was approached by the Indians on the Curb waiting to be picked up and the Indian started pounding his drum and singing to the kid that just stood there.
Well I watched the Youtube video 3 or 4 times and my Brother in the other room said that he seen the kid hit the Indian and Spit in the Indians face.
I told him that we must of been watching different videos because that is not what I seen.
He started screaming at me and yelled and I quote.
WHY DO ALL OF YOU Fing WHITE BOYS MOVE BACK TO EUROPE WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND LEAVE MY PEOPLE ALONE,
I just stood there just like that kid did and let him scream at me.
I was thinking to my self that we came from the same parents and he is a White as I am.
There is Truly something that has went Hay Wire in the Heads of some people in this world and the Dumbcrats tend to show that a lot more that the Conservatives.
I have been around a few Indians in my life and went to Pow Wows I have even Sweat doing their religious prayer.
And just about every Indian I have met Votes Dumbocrat.
The Same People that are keeping them repressed and stuck in the Reservation System.
The saying
Do the same thing over and over expecting a different out come comes to mind.
Some of them are truly Insane just like my Brother at times
