thats why i want to talk with the tribe member i know

2018-08-22 03:14:24 UTC  

I can only talk about my experiences outside the reservations as a native American.

2018-08-22 03:14:27 UTC  

At somepoint they have to work things out themselves

2018-08-22 03:14:35 UTC  

And what I see from peering into the reservation.

2018-08-22 03:14:38 UTC  

oh def

2018-08-22 03:14:41 UTC  

Cant have the government running their lives, even if it is to lead them to salvation

2018-08-22 03:14:48 UTC  

in some regards they need to take responsibility too

2018-08-22 03:14:57 UTC  

But the government can fix the problems that they created themselves.

2018-08-22 03:15:00 UTC  

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.

2018-08-22 03:15:01 UTC  

but we have to work together to ease the burden

2018-08-22 03:15:03 UTC  

Make amends.

2018-08-22 03:15:23 UTC  

Its not like addiction is stuck inside of reservations

2018-08-22 03:15:30 UTC  

its mostly north mid-west

2018-08-22 03:15:40 UTC  

that the problems occur iirc

2018-08-22 03:15:44 UTC  

Open an center to help fight addiction in native reservations would be a good step.

2018-08-22 03:15:46 UTC  

Yeah, addiction is getting kinda bad in the rural parts of the country.

2018-08-22 03:16:06 UTC  

subsidize treatment centers?

2018-08-22 03:16:07 UTC  

Give them a door to step away from that life.

2018-08-22 03:16:18 UTC  

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.

2018-08-22 03:16:26 UTC  

provide incentive for new businesse

2018-08-22 03:16:34 UTC  

No I am not talking about that... I am talking about like AAA meetings to help them get away from addictions.

2018-08-22 03:16:38 UTC  

Work towards being addiction free.

2018-08-22 03:16:44 UTC  

yea young people move out

2018-08-22 03:16:53 UTC  

gotta give them less reason too

2018-08-22 03:16:58 UTC  

I wonder if native americans view themselves as different from white people

2018-08-22 03:16:59 UTC  

more opportunity

2018-08-22 03:17:08 UTC  

No... not really Black.

2018-08-22 03:17:12 UTC  

i think soooome do

2018-08-22 03:17:18 UTC  

They do feel neglected and ignored.

2018-08-22 03:17:36 UTC  

yea

2018-08-22 03:17:50 UTC  

which is a breeding ground for extremism

2018-08-22 03:18:06 UTC  

hence why i think ignoring them is ultimately bad

2018-08-22 03:18:15 UTC  

There really isn't much extremist ideologies in native tribes.

2018-08-22 03:18:37 UTC  

I think it has something to do with the culture.

2018-08-22 03:18:48 UTC  

I'd wager it's probably size personally.

2018-08-22 03:19:04 UTC  

I don't hear as much extremism in rural counties either.

2018-08-22 03:19:18 UTC  

self-sustainment

2018-08-22 03:19:26 UTC  

they dont have a reason too

2018-08-22 03:19:26 UTC  

Rural areas tend to be more neighbor friendly and close netted group of people.

2018-08-22 03:19:45 UTC  

That care and help each other up, we don't usually think about identity politics like the west coast and east coast does.

2018-08-22 03:20:04 UTC  

I despise identity politics, I view it as a way to divide people and put them against each other.
