I'm from the government and I'm here to help you...

Of course you can trust the US Government.

Ask any Indian.




If you can find one.

It doesn't appear anyone wants to comment on the can of worms you have opened....

Yes, the Indians were here. Yes, WE came here. Yes, we are here. Yes, we pay for that daily.

I live among many, many Native Americans and I tell you, I can't find a single one who wants to live like their ancestors.

Funny thing. You can send all of "us" back to England, Scotland, Ireland, France, etc. and we'll probably get along fine. Leave the Indians back to the way it was before we arrived and they probably won't like it.

As a white Alaska who has lived here all my life (41 years) I watch the snot nose teenage native child get his money payments from the government and his free dental and his free medical and free land and free housing and free education while I do not have any of that. My children go without and so do I. The have all the best clothes and drive the best cars with large stickers that read "Native Pride". I have to sit and watch it all because if I drive a car that reads "White Pride" I will get shot.

Tell me that is fair.

By the way...I am a woman who does not see color or nationality. I have raised my children the same way.

Yet DAILY we are bombared with "unfairness" and "justise" and "equal rights" and color of all sorts. If you would let it rest, you will find we let it rest long ago.
