Will the curse ever be lifted?Natives continue to suffer because of colonialism despite the paltry, token amounts offered as appeasement.

"Tribes are discovering endless possibilities for Native communities whose time has come to move forward boldly."

Even after stolen land and court rulings favor Natives the stolen land and the favorable rulings are always at a price of some sort. It is never a case of something for nothing. 🤦‍♂️

"There is a pervasiveness always to deny Native people what we are entitled to. The question begs an answer, why is that? The answer: Racism is the opinion."

"Many tribes have decided to improve their healthcare services instead of waiting on the Indian Health Service (IHS). The Cherokee Nation is one of those tribes grabbing the bull by the horns."

Why is money always the go-to solution to try to absolve wrong-doers of their injustices? To add insult to injury time is used as the salt in the wound until there is nothing else to be gained from the original harm.

"How dare lawmakers place unnecessary burdens on those they are supposed to serve. To vote against legislation that will ensure a little extra food in the house is a prime example of how lawmakers don't care about those they are supposed to serve. The actions of the lawmakers couldn't be more obvious."

There has always been a false and incorrect idea about what the beliefs of the US represent. Anyone who is paying attention will know the belief system of what the US represents is a false set of beliefs.
