In my very "humble" opinion those that suffer the most in our Native communities are the young and the old. The young because they have become "lost souls" with no true idenity, the old because they try to keep the "old ways and the culture" but there are few that listen. What is to be done? It is my belief that we have no leadership in these Indian communities. Look at the turn out during tribal elections, very low numbers. The People have lost faith, they see no future. The tribes must unite and become as one, can you imagine the impact on the government if this would happen? Can you image the impact on our Native communities (note: we need to rid ourselves of the term "rez" it is a word that causes whites to place stigmas on our people) Peoples of Indian country "stand up and let your voices be heard".
