It was very depressing.

Which made me even more thankful for everything I have.
While of course the Indians whom were killed when the white man came here got screwed and those afterwards as this country took their lands. However today's generations have only their selves to blame. They have free land and I'm pretty sure are not taxed on their earnings in the reservations. No one else gets a deal like that..

I'm sorry but there comes a time when you have to stop using the past as an excuse and work for your own future..
