And so Bush reaps the negative consequences of a Bureau that has been horribly mismanaged for much longer than he has been around...cool!
I can lay claim to enough American Indian ancestry myself (Cherokee through my mother) that I could have gone to college on the Government's dime, but I didn't because I didn't need the help. My Best Man from my wedding, a full Cherokee himself, chose to do the same. Although I count myself as a Caucasian, both of us would absolutely LOVE to see some President stand up and honor the treaties established with the various Native American nations. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened, and probably won't in the near future.
But let's get back on target. What can President Bush do - or what should he have done - that would have prevented this? Law enforcement seems to agree that security was proper, or at least that's what I have read so far. Someone please lay out a cause and effect chain for me here, because all I am reading is supposition.
Is Red Lake a poor community, with a host of social and economic ills? I bet it is, but I'd rather wait until the investigation is over before I start pointing fingers.
