But I feel we can't ignore them and leave them to their own demise.
thats why i want to talk with the tribe member i know
I can only talk about my experiences outside the reservations as a native American.
At somepoint they have to work things out themselves
And what I see from peering into the reservation.
oh def
Cant have the government running their lives, even if it is to lead them to salvation
in some regards they need to take responsibility too
But the government can fix the problems that they created themselves.
The tribes near me always seemed to be doing ok. Alot of the issue I hear about are pretty universal of that part of the world. Stuff like alcohol and opiate addiction.
but we have to work together to ease the burden
Make amends.
Its not like addiction is stuck inside of reservations
its mostly north mid-west
that the problems occur iirc
Open an center to help fight addiction in native reservations would be a good step.
Yeah, addiction is getting kinda bad in the rural parts of the country.
subsidize treatment centers?
Give them a door to step away from that life.
I get the impression a big part of it is actually like alot of the rural parts of the country. Alot of the best people who might fix things tend to leave.
No I am not talking about that... I am talking about like AAA meetings to help them get away from addictions.
Work towards being addiction free.
yea young people move out
gotta give them less reason too
I wonder if native americans view themselves as different from white people
more opportunity
No... not really Black.
i think soooome do
They do feel neglected and ignored.
yea
which is a breeding ground for extremism
hence why i think ignoring them is ultimately bad
There really isn't much extremist ideologies in native tribes.
I think it has something to do with the culture.
I'd wager it's probably size personally.
I don't hear as much extremism in rural counties either.
self-sustainment
they dont have a reason too
Rural areas tend to be more neighbor friendly and close netted group of people.
That care and help each other up, we don't usually think about identity politics like the west coast and east coast does.
