Native American Observation

Recently an old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation,
smoking a Ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U. S. Government officials
sent
by the President to interview him. "Chief Two Eagles" asked one
official,
"You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars
and
his technological advances You've seen his progress, and the damage
he's
done." The Chief nodded in agreement. The official continued,
"Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white
man go
wrong?" *





The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute
and
then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were
running
it. No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all
work,
medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all
night
having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled. "Only white man
dumb
enough to think he could improve system like that*









Vice President Lyndon Johnson received the following message
from a
Native American Indian Chief on a reservation: "Be careful with your
immigration laws. We were careless with ours. "
