hits it right on the mark--------the Native American's in this country are the poorest, highest unemployment, highest spousal violence, highest drug problems, you name it they are near the top of the list.
White men can come on the reservation and rape a woman and then it actually takes the tribal federal police and the U.S. federal government to try mind you try these criminals in a court of law and most of the time they are released-------amazing.

I honestly believe that the citizens of that state need to take over each and every legislature office and don't leave, and the capital itself, they have a federal and state right to assemble, they do not have to leave.
