John,
If you are not trying to convince anybody, why are you writing?
And why are you doing such a good job? I think I'll take issue
with you again and tell you what you are actually doing even
though you disagree, and state that it all starts with
information and knowledge. Surely you, as a teacher, have to
agree. Your efforts could possibly get more to come and help.

Without coming across as rough, because I do not mean to insult
here, I
will share my thoughts on your remarks.
First, it is not my goal to convince anyone. Let's be honest, the
beliefs of
any group of people or lack of does change the existence for the
White Mesa
Ute one bit. That is only done through effort. At this time I am
completing
my degree in Secondary Education so I can return to the
reservation and work
to get some of these kids through school. In the past I was a
Vocational
Instructor in Residential Construction. Since NCLB hit the fan,
the funding
for Vocational Education is drier than the southwest.
Mark, my post began with my desire to share good news about the
Ute
beginning a small business. In fact, it is monumental news
because THIS
business can NOT be affected by the locals. The market is world
wide through
the Internet. My efforts there were all about assisting these
good people to
find a way toward self sufficiency. I do NOT believe aid is a
good thing
except to put food in the bellies of kids and a roof over their
heads. Many
of these people do not have running water or electricity. It is
not uncommon
to hear of a family who's parent has run off or died from
drinking hair
spray, or who's house has burned down, and who's 6 kids are
living in a
wrecked van somewhere on the edge of a canyon. That situation is
not
acceptable in our country. Aid needs to be temporary, and
opportunity
provided if the area holds none. Education is the key. You can
not run a
business if you read on a third grade level.
