These things become culturally institutionalized as they occur over centuries. Do something long enough and it becomes the norm, but you wouldn't know that because you don't live in a culture that has to put up with that now do you? Put us between a rock and a hard place and then say 'see, you can't make it' of course that's just setting people up for failure. Most Natives are already self sufficient, productive, law abiding citizens, but it would sure help if we had our full sovereignty back and because you live in a culture of 'white privilege, you have trouble seeing it from the other guys' perspective.
