Thank you thunderfoot, that was beautiful and well written.
As "the cultural resource for the Federal prison system, state prison, child welfare services, etc..." do you folks ever feel or think that the "victim" consciousness given to American Indians promoted by the "apologist culture" is creating more social problems than it is helping?
I only ask this after spending time with Tibetans and nomadic Mongolian hill tribe peoples in Asian countries, in asylum in countries that are not currently supportive of their presence to put it lightly, yet these 2 cultures have very very low incarceration rates or self-destructive behaviors and do not receive any welfare support.
This is simply my observation and I know it is not considered "politically correct" to ask but I ask anyway.
