Well said, even if this factual and well researched article is ignored or protested by many.
The sad reality today is that most react without thinking, or at least without searching for truth, and are much more likely to give you an emotional outburst than a counter argument based on facts and respect.
Unfortunately we live in a world that has been conditioned to expect handouts, and the mere suggestion of the loss of these priveledges will cause them to rise up in anger.
Often the most vocal are the ones with the most to lose, and who can blame them?
Those who do not have to work to support themselves would likely do everything they could to hang on to that, even at the detriment of society around them.
We have conditioned a generation to think only of themselves, and to believe in instant gratification without the work that should be done to achieve their goals. We see constantly how those that refuse to work will put more effort into getting those that do work to pay for their supposed needs, than what would have been required to get these same things through just working themselves.
Unfortunately, this problem is epidemic, and not just among the native tribes, but throughout our society.
I hope that someday we will wake up and begin to change as a whole, but I fear that history is not on our side and that our way of life will have to crumble and be rebuilt before there is any meaningfull change in this culture of entitlement.
