There is a world of difference between dependancy and assistance
Tell that to the person whom has become dependent on assistance.......The two go hand in hand.... you offer assistance and they come back depending on it to be there for them again.Do you think that it only plagues the Native American Indians.... Think about it when you watch the person in line at the store paying for food with food stamps... When a young person goes to apply for school Grants they depend on those federal grant programs to assist in paying for their college education. I know the U of I was more than a little freaked when the Governor wanted to pull 14 million dollars in funding assistance to the school... they depended on that assistance.
As for you assumeing to know what my reasonings are is way off mark .... How could you know ...are you me?.... No you only assume.
You profess to know that the Indians are lacking Morality, Hope and Pride ... how could you know this is what we think and feel unless you are an Native American Indian... what you have Professed is only your opinion you have formed ... Or was it done by living as an Native American Indian????????????
As for being laughable ............. Well your ignorance is your bliss.

Until you have walked in our shoes and lived in our shoes ....dont profess to know what is best for us, or to assume to know what we feel... just because you learned it from a book..... pull your nose out of the book and take a walk in the real world with your eyes open.
DONE with this .... Have a nice day.
