Re: [Native_American] There must be something we can do about this outrage

[yona]

Question if I may be so bold as to ask this particular one without stirring up a hornet's nest. It is well known that in certain ethnic races the people cannot for some reason or another stand alcohol to be in their system. I have often wondered why this is so. Does anyone have a good  answer to that question.   Yona ----- Original Message ----- From: darla roberts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 6:02 AM Subject: Re: [Native_American] There must be something we can do about this outrage help to give them an education and something to do with their time, and alcohol won't be as prevelent.  the white man introduced us long ago to the wonders of alcohol, good and bad, and now they wonder what kind of a deamon they have created. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 26, 2002 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [Native_American] There must be something we can do about this outrage        To ban the sale of liquor in Whiteclay is not sloving any problem, or the real problem.  All it is, is telling the Indians to go away.  It is almost the typical white way, no more Indians no more problem.  Finding a way to help the abuse of alcohol on Pine Ridge would be the right thing and the human thing to do.  Taking away liquor licenses does not take away the problem it can only create more problems and cause more pain to others, espcially those residents of the Pine Ridge reservation.  Treat the disease and help the way of life on the reservation.  This is another example of why sometimes I am ashamed of being a white American.  The Native American way of life of old is something we all should preserve and learn, not let it get destroyed by problems that we are the cause of.  We can't deny that but then again we have never been wrong when it comes to what we think is the best for the Native Americans.
