a lot of substance abuse and a degeneration
of their living standards. It's bad. Despite
the programs for community improvement (such
as Indian leaders graduating from schools there)
i can't help but wonder if the majority of
natives would not want to mingle in the bigger
cities. It is argued that they would then lose
their culture, but that is not an argument used
by other ethnics groups. I have my doubts that
natives can go back 100 years to their original
culture of life.Squiggles
