Life on an Indian reservation is not easy. The average American believes that the enrolled Native Americans are lucky because they get a monthly payment for being enrolled, they are tax exempt, and they can't get their land foreclosed on. While in many cases this is true to some extent, the reality is that these "benefits" keep the enrolled natives imprisoned in poverty with all the problems that follow. This is one Native's story of growing up in poverty during the Great Depression, traveling the world, and realizing his people's dilemma of trying to maintain a tribal heritage within a foreign government.
