When you're a conquered people and you lose, you shut up and lose. And then you move forward into the new situation as best you can, maybe apportioning your rightful feelings of angst and loss for campfire stories. I have no idea why the American government tolerates Amerindians as much as it does. No other conquering government in history has made such concessions as that of the US Feds.
And for what? Severe, crippling meth problems? Poverty that is so complete but so protected by some BS separationist legal system?
