I have lived next to a reservation mostly all my life and have known quite a few Indians, mostly men. I have not taken any American Indian Study classes. I don't know beans about them except they can do anything I can do. I also believe they will not give up one square yard of their turf.

You learn a lot playing basketball and football with the young men because you have something in common.

On more then one occasion I attended get-togethers at a Native American alcoholic halfway house in Northern Wisconsin. What I took away from every meeting is that I did not understand their alcoholism, because it was different, because they were.

Help an Indian have a decent education. We all know that is what will promote change, and in their time, with them making the choices. They are the best of us, and maybe those that live apart need to tell their stories to those that still need to listen. How many old men or women have you listened to lately? Hell, we don’t listen, as we know everything.

Maybe they will help us to get along, when they learn to get along. They have their leadership problems that are just as stupid as ours, because they choose their leaders also.
