As a one more, If we empower our kids we disempower the abusers, or thoughts to abuse alcohol or drugs, which either kills our kids by unintentional accidents,or deliberate suicide. We will not see positive results tomorrow or next week, but in 5-7 years of steady education and awareness being put into the schools curriculums. After we get something going for our kids, we can get started on the adults who are addicted and supplying our kids with the substances of death, to make them aware that they are sentencing our kids to lifetimes of abuse, jails, hospitalizations, prison and death.
What we have going is not working and to me. we will get $4 million dollars of the same old same old.
I see no real change until we get progressive young thinkers as leaders, such as Evon and some others who have been educated, but can think outside of the box of colonialism the Natives have been stuffed into, since the Russians came and started brutalizing and slaughtering the Natives.
