roachboy has covered most of what i'd say...
pointed headed academics....i love the ad hominem combined with anti-intellectualism. it's wonderfully distasteful.
let's put it this way. the federal government, due to land siezures and mineral rights, owes Native Americans a shit load of money. They promise to pay regularly...but because of corruption, incompetence, and other factors...the trust fund is not well managed.
This lack of funding leaves the reservations as hotspots of poverty, with social issues like drug and alcohol abuse...and no way of paying their way out. Unless...the tribe happens to be near enough to a major metro area to have a casino. I've been to Red Lake...it's in the middle of Fucking Nowhere.
So...in the face of:
1. A Federal obligation to pay.
2. A failure to do so.
3. A community in crisis with lack of economic opportunities, which may or may not have contributed to this instance of violence...
Your answer is to not do *anything*?
Now, that's incredible.
