If you have trouble celebrating July 4th, I can sympathize. For years, we did so within internment camp barbed wire fencing, guns pointed in at us. We honored the promise of America even as it was broken to us every day. But still, we kept faith. And a brighter day finally came.
The new jobs report is great. However, my reservation (Pine Ridge) still suffers from chronic unemployment, and 97% of the residents live in abject poverty. Itโs time for tribal economic recovery. Give back to Indigenous communities. From which the U.S. has โ taken so much from.
