THE LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE NAVAJO TRIBE IN COLORADO IS MORE THAN APPALLING.

    For the last 40 years I have lived in this Country, I have heard Politicians on both sides of the Political Spectrum, mention the poverty that exists in our nation among the minorities. Programs set up to help the 'Poor' have always been mentioned, but the larger Black Communities have always been up front and center to the rest. Literally thousands of programs have been established over the years in an effort to improve the abilities of the minorities and help them to be equal as residents of our great Country in education, health and welfare and the opportunity for all to be equal to one another. I thought those programs were having a reasonable margin of success during that time.
    It appears I was wrong!  Judging by the over-all behavior of those minorities lately, particularly in the last 7 years, there is virtually nothing that could be done to change the minds of the Black minorities that has not been done. And with the help of the Black Community Organizers along with agitation prompted by the Obama Administration, nothing on God's green earth could or will satisfy their demands anyway. Barack Obama's tactful Community Organizers have, and still are seeing to it for the goodness of their own sake!
     May I suggest Chief agitators such as Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the NAACP???
    But let's take the focus off the 'habitual complainers' who would complain if they were hung with an old rope, for a while.
     Let's stop and take a breath concerning those complainers and place attention to the Indian Tribes who weren't so successful in negotiating their treaties when the original Immigrants who pioneered this great Wilderness, so rudely interrupted the peaceful lives of the American Indians. Before such Alien interruption, a nation of primitive, but nonetheless satisfied, American Indians who already had their own style of living that suited their particular means, settled their own domestic disputes among themselves.
     The White Immigrants defeated them hands down, The White man's rules prevailed!!
     Regardless of treaties agreed to way back then, and who was right and who was wrong, we must admit the various Indian tribes had little or no choice of the outcome of the offerings presented to them once they went down to defeat.
     Reservations were arranged, not often situated in desirable settings of their choice.
     Gov't promises were not often kept. As a result of  un-kept promises from ruling Tribal families of their own, any wealth accrued through businesses the tribes operated independently was, and does not, adequately trickle down to the common members in the Tribes. Thus leaving the common Indians with little or no advancement in wealth to this day.
     So, amid all the complaints by the Black Communities receiving assistance from the Federal and State Gov'ts, the Native American Indians seem to have gotten set off to the side for the sake of the Illegal Aliens and the American Blacks. They sit in Limbo so to speak.
     I have seen the conditions of the unfortunate people in Africa, where the settlements are still primitive on their given, tribal lands and their dependence on trucked in water and food essentials is an ignored, ongoing situation. That is caused by the corrupt Gov'ts who give little fair choice to change the conditions. I get that!
     But this is modern America, far above the advancement of depressed citizens of Africa, for God's sake!! What I saw in this morning's documentary made me sick to my stomach. I saw a replay of an Indian Reservation  from 60 years ago when I was 18 years old in Canada.
     Although the documentary was taken on the Navajo Reservation in Colorado, there they were, just as I saw them 60 years earlier in Canada. Although these were Navajo instead of the Northern Blackfoot. A settlement of Indians as poor as I remember they were, way back then; In living conditions we have no excuse for allowing them to have to exist in now. 
     No running water that was drinkable to digest, and heating what water there is to only wash other things clean.
     Yes, there were wells that long ago were abandoned because of mining operations that allowed the cyanide used to separate precious metals to permeate the well water due to lack of proper handling. That, along with arsenic that is always present in Precious metal deposits, including Copper.
     I'm not even going to try to pass exact blame, because there is obvious corruption enough to go around, no matter what Gov't group you want to look at! It's apparently there in the upper Echelon of the Indian tribes as well, because no one including them has made an attempt at correcting the problem.
     All I know is, I myself, feel ashamed I even witnessed it as a decent human being I like to think I am.
     Shame on you, America, for even allowing us to see it happen, because it only shows me that, like the President has been doing for the Illegals and the Black Communities through his Dictatorial reign, he neglects to help a nation of people that had already beat us here thousands of years before we came, but had the simple happiness they were content with taken away 150 years or so ago.
     It was pitiful to see them doing whatever it takes to stay alive knowing something could be done, but isn't. All because they don't have the voting power to make the difference in an election. So, I'm sure they say, "Why bother?"
     If there's anybody in this Country we need to pay homage to, it's these people who, despite the despair they've been put to, are still proud of the brave people they always were, win or lose.
     May God bless you Native Indians and I hope God takes notice and inspires enough other people to do something about it!   Please share this blog when you're done reading it! They're only asking for running water, for Pete's sake. Just sayin'
