I never said anything close to that. Someone stated that the Indians got the short stick while I agree I responded with this.
"They did get the short stick but in life you have two choices. Keep holding onto that short stick or look to better what you have. "
I was just saying they can't keep on holding onto that short stick and need to move on. Alot of indians have moved on while holding on to trditions. I also agree with you they need to perserve their culture and traditions. Here is a good example of the city I live in giving land back to a tribe to build a replica village. I'll let you know if its worth visting when it finally opens.
