The Sioux Guide to Situational Awareness

Sioux-Guide.jpg

It was part of our hunting to find new and strange things in the woods.
We examined the slightest sign of life; and if a bird had scratched the leaves off the ground, or a bear dragged up a root for his morning meal, we stopped to speculate on the time it was done. If we saw a large old tree with some scratches on its bark, we concluded that a bear or some raccoons must be living there. -- Art of Manliness

Your Say

May have been so in the 19th century. But the Indian of today is not a man. He is a servant of the US government. My wife and I lived for eighteen years off grid in a mountainous region of Nevada that was totally encircled by "Indian land" (Sioux as a matter of fact). Or more specifically, 160 acre "Allotments" that Indians roamed around on and denuded of firewood which they sold illegally.

I got to know a bunch of these "native americans". Poor hunters, poor rifle marksmen, poor stewards (phony Leftist term) of the land. These people were and are, totally dependent on the Fed. gov.

You're right Terry, people today bear little resemblance to those of even just 30-40 years ago.

And you're correct that the gov't is the reason behind most of the world's ills.

Each facilitates the other.

The noble Red Man. Nothing that the Government touches has any nobility about it.

What is left is servitude, individuals who can grovel and those that will sell anything owned for pottage.
