Natives are the most oppressed people in this country. Im 50% Chickasaw/Choctaw by blood. I have my CDIB and Tribal Card, no fake here.The reservations are some of the most poverty stricken areas. We need to rise again and stand up for ourselves. The goverment cripples us by giving us handouts. Take ownership and get ourselves back out of this situation. Put down the booze put down the drugs and lets make a stand!!

Also you can't exclude generational PTSD, people who live under such harsh conditions for generations are plagued with bad mental health and no ways to get that type of help. It's a vicious circle. You can also look at how holocaust descendants tend to have higher PTSD than their relatives who lived through the horrors. That kind of pain travels down the line and gets heavier.

You are so right! It’s so easy for people to judge when they haven’t gone through what other endured in their lives, and instead looking at the real problem like corrupt governments, greedy business people and racist ignorants, who continue providing this environment for them to stay this low, they just talk without thinking and looking back to history. It will take many generations to change this pattern and I wish good people keeps helping!

My children's father is Lakota from South Dakota and I come from a more modern nature reservation that has access to alot of things that their reservation can't easily access. Suicide is major on his reservation sadly he took his life in 2016. My kids lost their father and its hard for us they are all early teenagers now but it did have a huge effect on them mentally and im dealing with it as well as my mental state on that day. Native woman are really string women and I never understood that until I became a mother and a single mother at that but I live being Native American and wouldn't have it any other way.

@@canskasapaemanon708 thanks that's an awesome reply and you really articulated the challenges well. It may sound odd but when I was reading that, the challenges sounded conceptually similar to the problems most high streets have in my country in europe. Strict regulation over how the shops can be used, a few major companies own the property and force rents higher than the shop can support, local government taxes that are way too high but only apply to certain shops and that distorts the high street. Thats before we even get onto the challenge from online shopping. As a result, we have many ghost high streets that are very depressing. The solution is not really that hard, but the real problem is getting all these different interest groups to align together. Thank you for taking the time to write that.

Funny thing is all the good food that the children get at schools: breakfast, lunch, and snacks. All healthy food is thrown in the garbage. Not to mention they choose to live this way. Go to any high school and all the teenagers want is chips and soda, they dont want the broccoli or carrots. Go to any transfer station and you will see pallets of canned vegetables thrown in the dumpster. Huge sacks of apples and potatoes left on pallots for the locals. They don't take it and let it sit in the sun to spoil and rot and left in the mud. I haved worked on the rez for years. Its what you make of it. There are fresh fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores, but they dont spend their money on these healthy items, they spend it on $150 Nike basketball shoes, $350 to $500 star quilts, beer from off rez liquor stores, etc. I could go on, but truth be known ABC is painting a bleak picture with broad strokes. People that get educated leave because the locals dont want them to come back because they are jealous and say that anyone who leaves sold out into the culture. I hear it from so many who have left and its true. Jealousy runs rampant on this rez. I could say more, but she isnt sharing the full story.

No one wants Broccoli and carrots. They want steak and eggs. Plants aren’t really healthy. School food quality is terrible and the food shouldn’t be eaten honestly. Older native Americans originally ate only mainly red meat. Also most humans today have food addictions and that’s why they keep choosing unhealthy processed food and drinks like chips and soda.

My mother in law's great great grandma lived from 1819 and died 1940 my mother in law only made 71. The difference in the nutrition is apparent. Traditional corn pones are now made of flour a diet rich in niacin thanks to corn depleted by wheat and starches. Time to create food boxes meant for planting, sweet potatoes will grow on our plains so will some corn back to the basics. Just like the road work here they're removing trees they're gonna replace them why not with self sustainable food source trees that grow here. Food boxes shouldn't just contain a months worth, if you teach a man to fish you feed him his entire life if you give a man a fish he eats for a day, 🤷.

You are a deep diver. Bravo! I like your ideas. Keep it up. They will serve you. 1. The Earth's magnetic poles are reversing. The north magnetic pole has left Canada and should be in Russia. The South magnetic pole is heading towards Australia. 2. The Earth's magnetosphere that protects us from exposure to cosmic radiation, especially that, that emanates from the Sun. Following the Carrington Event of 1859, the magnetosphere's field strength has weakend to a loss of more than 25%. It is currently decreasing at a rate of 5% per decade. What this means for our civilization is that it makes us and our technology extremely vulnerable to space weather events; such as: solar flares, geomagnetic induction currents, EMP, coronal mass ejections, solar filaments, solar-winds emanating from coronal holes, etc. Essentially, what it means is a disruption in power and communications -- globally. That means no electricity, no communications, and no technology greater than an old-fashioned, water pump. 3. Currently, the Earth's magnetic poles are shifting. The north magnetic pole has moved into Russia and the South magnetic pole is on its way towards Australia. 5. In 2011, the Earth shifted 8 to 10 degrees or 480 to 600 miles moving in the direction of Maine towards Alaska. As the Earth's magnetosphere weakends an eventual EMP induced by a space weather event that will fry power, communications and technology forever after everything stops burning resulting from electrical discharges from wiring. 6. The real problem during these events is if protons reach the surface of the Earth. Currently, levels of cosmic radiation penetrating through high-flying airliners are exposing the pilot, their crew and passengers to radiation that would be the equivalent of a chest x-ray every half hour. Mind you, I am being conservative. There is no way to quantify the exact amount. 7. Why you ask didn't the government tells US about this??? They have.

Why do you say "This is what we DO " to them? "We" (I assume you mean mainstream America) don't force anyone to live on a reservation. Anybody on the reservation can probably get a college scholarship or grant, get a degree or certification and go work off the reservation in the nearest large city if they want to. Reservations are like countries on their own. "We" don't run them. "We" don't make Mexico poor either, but we do send aid.

The DC is not the enemy, but the placard the evil hides behind. The United States is in fact, a federal corporation. 28 USC 3002(15)(A). The trustee of the United States is Englamd, but America is OWNED by the Vatican. Pope Alexander VI issued a papal bull or decree, “Inter Caetera," in which he authorized Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and its Native peoples as subjects. The decree asserts the rights of Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert, and enslave. He also empowered them "with full and free power, authority, and jurisdiction of every kind…” Essentially, rape, murder and pillage. It also justifies the enslavement of Africans. It is my belief that, that entire debacle with Custer and his men was a false flag operation designed to turn public sentiment in favor of that of the government's crusade.

This is just beyond words of sadness. Indigenous people (the ‘real’ Americans) have been scarred beyond recognition for centuries. Even today that hurt has never healed for their descendants and the government chooses the crappiest prices of land for them to live on in the absolute poorest conditions on purpose to set them up for failure/dependency. Why aren’t the American people not outraged enough to take action to help them? If the government has any moral compass then they would admit they screwed up in the past and should meet whatever demands the people have to help them begin to thrive again. They CAN DO IT! They just refuse to do it. These lovely/sacred people don’t even businesses of their own, no jobs to take pride in, no mandated counseling, no decent food to eat, their children grow up in places of great poverty, and some are so far gone with sadness that they resort to suicide/alcohol/drugs. It’s not right to continually screw them over. They deserve so much more than we can give them, but the government can start with the basics. May God bless them through numerous struggles and know that they are NOT forgotten

I have so-called educated people argue with me about it, because a healthy diet the way it’s laid out is for “everybody“. Well it doesn’t work that way. I regained a lot of my health by eating game meat, fish, and the right vegetables and fruits. For the most part I try to avoid bread, I get a lot of thrown at me. If Subway can help bring that in the right direction in some areas, I’m all for it. They’ve got a good supply chain, and I think it would be a plus.

I feel for you. My family is Bangladeshi. we survived over 200 years of famines. the biggest one was the 1943 bengal famine caused by Churchill. My people are predispositioned to POCS, type 2 diabetes, and a lot of cardiac issues. my grandpa died at 48 from heart complications. i wish i could just eat all the candy and cake I want like everyone else, but it will kill me.

It's so hard to leave a place when you have no money. How can you pay to move? Where do you go? What job can you get without technical training or education or good work experience. I hate to say it but the military could be one way to leave for young people.

Millions of people are forced, and or decide, to move out of their homelands every year to start over and survive in foreign countries where they don't even speak the language or know the culture.. They do this with nothing in their pockets to make a life for themselves. They have to give up their countries because they've been bombed or tormented by colonizers. It can be done if you're not drinking and drugging and living on handouts. All pride is lost when one accepts handouts. Yes, these natives got screwed but so did many other cultures to no fault of their own. Adversity makes you stronger or weaker, your choice. And you start from scratch, meaning pump gas, waitress, do anything to climb up. That's what immigrants do, and they do well.

The same situation is what faces millions of high school graduates every year, no matter where they live..... and the military is a very good solution. You serve for 4 years, you learn not only HOW to learn a job, but get job experience. You learn discipline, respect for authority, and how to be organized. When you are done you have money for college, and now, at age 22, you have the tools to be successful in you classes. Its really not a bad way to go. Just make sure when you are enlisting that you make your choices wisely, perhaps taking an older adult with you to find out the options you have to choose from. Don't let the recruiter talk you into something THEY are supposed to find new recruits to fill the positions for - those are rarely the jobs that will help you later.

The reality is that there is NO money in exchange, only money in account, they are only digits in a computer, backed by NOTHING! Worthless paper. Gold is the medium of exchange for sovereigns. Silver is the medium of exchange for the gentlemen. Barter is the medium of exchange for peasants. Debt is the medium of exchange for slaves A Federal Reserve NOTE is a worthless debt instrument backed by NOTHING, but the 'full faith and credit of the American people'. Can you imagine in 1933, the US Congress committed the greatest gold heist in American history. The also unlawfully took away their ability to pay their debts in gold and 27 years later in silver. Once upon a time the US currency was backed by gold or silver. Can you imagine going into a bank and being given gold or silver coin?😭🐂💩

There is an old Texas proverb: Sometimes you have to lift the cow's tail and stare at the problem right in the eye... Matthew 7:24-27 "Build your house upon rock, not sand." Government will not save you. They are the source of what is upon us. First of all, look at the word "GOVERNMENT". It comes from Greek and Latin. Its prefix means 'to control or to steer a rudder'. The Latin suffix 'mente' means "the mind". Put it all together: "Government means to control or to steer the mind." If America is free, then why does the reptilian Queen Elizebeth control the UNITED STATE's social security system? England is the trustee, but the Vatican OWNS America. Think of it. In 1493, the Pope Alexander VI issues a papal bull or decree, “Inter Caetera," in which he authorizes Spain and Portugal to colonize the Americas and its Native peoples as subjects. The decree asserts the rights of Spain and Portugal to colonize, convert, and enslave, because they were not Christian. It also justifies the enslavement of Africans

Black hills dakotas, we could have mined it ourselves because it was ours, then they took it away, honor our treaties

I can’t stand Diane Sawyer. She can’t begin to understand what it means to be poor. Furthermore, the US Government did its best to annihilate these people, but they have survived and the worthless land that they were forced upon is their land no matter how bad it is. These people have ties to the land. Their ancestors lived and died there. They understand values that go beyond material things. They are strong survivors and they are proud and unlike other people, they have remained united and loyal to one another. When they are educated, they want to take their gifts back to their respective reservations. They want to help their own people; not get a job in the White man’s businesses, but many cannot understand that and Sawyer does not understand. My great grandmother was Cherokee and while I’m noted as Caucasian, I have an understanding in my heart. I understand what it is to be dirt poor and I understand loyalty to the family. No matter how educated I became, I could never leave my family. When you are poor, it’s very difficult to make your way out of certain situations. Not having money stops you from doing many things that you would like to do. I was deeply offended by Sawyer’s comments such as “why don’t you just leave?” I’m sure that I don’t have to answer that question for anyone who has lived poor. So, if you don’t understand, you don’t understand poor. God bless our nation’s people. The US Government can never repay what they stole!!!!! Angry in Virginia !

Too many carbs from breads and processed food make me bloated and gassy, but I keep eating that garbage so I shouldn't complain. I get swollen too and sometimes it hurts to walk because my feet are so swollen. I went on a keto diet and felt 100% better and I lost a ton of weight (I went from 220lbs to 175lbs), but I ended up getting off of it once I found out that I was pregnant. After giving birth, I tried the keto diet again but it didn't work anymore😒 Now, I am beginning to wonder if this could be genetic?! My paternal grandfather was full-blooded Chippewa from the Swan Creek tribe (his grandmother was Julia Fisher and her father was Chief Wabaness and his father was Chief Kaw ge ke Ihick). I was told that before grandpa died, he was over 300lbs, his heart was bad (which killed him) and he had emphysema. Now, I wonder if all the breads and pies that grandma made might have screwed him up unbeknownst to us🥺

You know, tribes receive millions in federal aid every year, and very little of that finds its way into the lives of tribal members. Your reservations are the size of small states. Raise massive herds of Buffalo, Grow huge gardens and use buffalo dung for fertilizer, raise horses and rediscover your true heritage, they could live off the land again, they have hundreds of thousands of acres to roam free and go back to old ways......But like the great welfare trap, a people devoid of a purpose or drive to better themselves because of the way they have been fucked over in history, nothing will ever change for them, no amount of money will fix it.

Would be nice if the Lakota people could develop a sustainable way to live, and show the rest of the world how that can be done, using the Earth's resources wisely, not abusing them like we all do by buying things we want, but do not need. Bringing typical businesses there, may be nice for the people, but it just makes them more shackled to the establishment. They should retain their independence and autonomy. Where are the filthy rich philanthropists (Bono, Bill Gates, Elon Musk etc.) who could help them set up such a commune?
