Dakota

On another list, they put out a request for aid. Aparently the Lakota indian reservation is having a hard time. They got hit by a surprise storm, and are really low on propane, food, etc. These are the same Native Americans who sell us cigarettes (for those who are unfortunate enough to smoke) and have big casinos. But can't seem to afford to fill their propane tanks in the summer. This does not compute.

There are no Casino's or Tobacco sales allowed on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations. They are the 2 poorest reservations on the face of the earth. Alcoholism, Drugs and gang warfare are the norm. Please get your facts straight. Your US Government has screwed those people to the wall. Our South Dakota Government and people have long tried to make things better for those people., but those reservations are just too large for our means. Those reservations have a massive crime rate and more murders percentage wise that any major city. But there are also some of the finest Indian folks on the face of the earth there. In many parts of the reservations there isn't even electricity or navigatible roads in the winter. Many Indians commit petty crimes off the Reservation in the fall so they can sit it out in a warm jail in the winter. Look at a reservation map of South Dakota and see how large a portion of the state belongs strictly to the Indians. You don 't have to repair furnaces and AC's there. They don't have any!
