text: Actually I am quite nice. I am very self-aware. And I am Native. Indigenous people have lost strength and culture because of their dependence on "big government" as you put it. It is a type welfare cycle that has to be broken. Our tribal governments have a great deal of financial resources that benefit a few - the "it's not what you know but who you know mentality." It is time for our tribal leadership to step up and lead our people and protect our people as our ancestral chiefs did.
