Dying In Indian Country
3 FollowersThe U.S. Government has set up a system that allows crime and corruption to go unchecked and without repercussion on many reservations. Several tribal governments have been using and abusing families for the sake of power and money. Federal government has literally made the decision to protect tribal sovereignty at all cost – even the cost of our children. It is well known crime and corruption is rampant on many reservations. The last two U.S. censuses show that 75% of tribal members do NOT live in Indian Country. Many have taken their families and left due to the crime and corruption, feeling the reservation is unsafe for their children. Some families left a generation or two ago. Despite documented deaths of children and an ongoing exodus from Indian Country, federal government has consistently looked the other way. Officials in the White House, BIA and DOJ choose to support tribal leaders - who claim to speak for everyone - rather than support tribal members, who, although they are U.S citizens, are told constitutional rights don\'t always apply to them. Tribal leaders do NOT speak for every person of heritage - nor do they know what is best for every individual child of heritage. Despite claims of looking out for the youth, the reality is tribal leaders - as well as the BIA - have a vested financial interest in maintaining control over our children. Our Congressmen need to put children before politics. Crime and corruption are never made better and can never be made better by giving those responsible for the crime and corruption more power and money. --------- Read more and get the book at - http://caicw.org - and - http://dyinginindiancountry.com/
