Re: Obamabastic !!
DID either of you read the story??
First of all, it used the word "SOME", not ALL. Big difference. The land in question is land promised by TREATIES and violated by the federal goverment.
"At Rosebud, that's a situation where indigenous people have seen over time encroachment on to their land and they've lost vast territories and there have been clear instances of broken treaty promises. It's undisputed that the Black Hills was guaranteed them by treaty and that treaty was just outright violated by the United States in the 1900s. That has been recognised by the United States supreme court," he said.
There is plenty to read in the article, including some serious issues.
Why not learning to have some compassion for the indians. Maybe if you actually gave a crap about other human beings, you may understand whats at stake for them. Why not take a ride through the grand canyon for instance and see how the navajo indians live in the middle of nowhere, with nothing. Crappy land, no running water, no electricity, no natural gas, no concrete, no cement, just dirt.
Goverment trailers litter the landscape and the people live like the flintstones because thats where the white man put them.
Maybe if you could actually see this, and the horrible conditions to which they live, you may think a bit differently.
Peace
