I find it deplorable that we would leave these people with virtually

other basic necessities. I'm donating $100. How about you?

I remember going through the four corners area and the Indian Nation there.
There was nothing but dirt. One little store. A dozen or so young people
just standing around waiting for someone to perhaps buy them a soft
drink. Across the way a new trailer and several others decades old.
The Indian Nation near the Alberta border was desperate. Two or three
stores, a etc.
There were several vehicles at one store, maybe it was a pkg store. They
were bringing out multiple cases of beer. Most were already drunk.
The air of desperation was everywhere. there was nothing to do but drink.
Conquered people. Why isn't there sufficient funding to elevate them one
or two levels above the desperation they seemed to be maintained in?
The Eastern Nations are fairly prosperous.
