With all due respects, Qapuk Inupiag but when you write like that, you make it sound like native people are nothing but a white man's burden, a child that need to be held by a hand. Native people from what I seen in prison, are relatively well educated, well attuned to the world around them and definitely not ignorant as you paint them. Many of them are ashamed of the violence they caused but many do not understand why they did it. In that, they ranked with blacks, whites and other racial groups. I have read many PSI reports on my native inmates during my times and like or not, believe it or not, liquor or drug were involved in just about all of their criminal behavior. So it is not necessary to degrade the native people as simpletons who don't "fully understand yet" the world they live in. Sound like some missionary of the 19th century!!
