I grew up outside of an Indian reservation. I am fairly familiar with the native Indian mentality and his culture.

From where did you learn about the native Indian?

I have family who fostered native children. The parents would occasionally get the fostered child back for a while, and sell everything that was given to them by my family (bicycle, cell phone, clothes), and buy drugs and alcohol. If they got this child back, the kids would have lost a ton of weight, because they had no food. In almost all cases, the kids were sexually abused and beaten by their own relatives. It is near impossible to aactually adopt a native child, if you are not indian.

I also lived near an indian reservation growing up, and saw a lot of messed up stuff growing up. Scary.
