TsioKawe is Native American Indian shows how little you know. It means speaks the truth, whether you like it or not. I guess Tony doesnt know why AOL has been subpoena. I figure its because I signed up for SA to see what was behind his subscriber services. I only asked Tony if he might explain why as he is usually up to snuff on these dealings. I havent insinuated attorneys need to look at His Posts directly but everyones posts as our freedom of choices are being regulated more each day get with the program I do not understand this term "shrill" I can only relate that to the call of the Eagle. I will get lost when you go back across the oceans your ancestors crossed and give back the lands which were stolen from Native America, and live up to the promises of the treaties..But I know that wont happen as your tribes have no Honor in them, only greed. This has been proven for 300 years, you are living proof of that. Sorry for you that the extermination process was unsuccessful and people like me still exist. Anyone find that whitemans drug to brainwash me into your level of greed?? NOT!! TsioKawe.Native American not Korean fool

Here is one result of greed.. BIRDTAIL SIOUX FIRST NATION, Man. (CP) - All three police officers stationed at this troubled reserve have been on either sick leave or stress leave because of a recent rash of suicides, reports the Brandon Sun. The newspaper quoted a member of the Dakota Ojibwa Police Service, who asked not to be identified, as saying that's meant at times the nearest officers left to police the small community are an hour away at Oak Lake. The member also said senior administrators of the DOPS aren't doing much to help the traumatized officers, an accusation denied by department officials. More than 20 people have attempted suicide in the last 13 months at the reserve. Seven were successful. Nevertheless, the department only recently instructed the officers who handled the deaths to get counselling, the officer said. "It's just like they don't provide any support for the guys out in the field," said the officer. "We don't get any kind of direction from them whatsoever. The only time we hear from them is when we do something wrong." Deputy chief Dave Scott said the recent leaves taken by the Birdtail members are unrelated to the suicides. He added its DOPS policy that officers seek counselling after a traumatic situation and the department makes every effort to ensure they get the help they need. In fact, he said, he's made personal calls to members himself to check how they're doing. "I offer them the support they do need or may need and I indicate it's policy that they're ordered to go for debriefing on the incident with the caregiver psychologist," Scott said. "We offer it to them and whether they take it or not its up to them." But the unnamed officer said until recently he didn't know trauma debriefing was available. "When all these things happened you'd think they'd do something about it . . . tell everyone what was available to them." Dr. Ron Richert, a clinical psychologist for the DOPS and the RCMP, said trauma debriefing should take place 24 to 72 hours after the incident to prevent long-term chronic mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder. "The research tends to show you can have more favourable impact because the reaction to that event has not yet set or gelled for the individual," he said. "So that's the time to get to them and try to open up a dialogue or discussion." Whether through relatives or friends, the rash of suicides has touched almost everyone in the tightly knit community, 145 kilometres northeast of Brandon. Many suicides appear to be linked. One suicide last July happened on the same day another band member was buried. Another band member ended his life by taking a lethal amount of pills less than two months after his common-law wife hanged herself. Many Birdtail residents believe they live on the worst reserve in Manitoba. Many houses are falling apart as mould eats away at carpeting and drywall. One asthmatic woman and her two grandchildren live illegally in a home condemned by Health Canada. Police have said say substance abuse is worse at Birdtail than on other nearby reserves. "Here there's nothing really to do," Const. Charles Jebb has said. "There a lack of employment and people turn to alcoholis
