To anyone who may still believe that the Federal Government Really has Your Best Interest in mind, you should read this and Acknowledge what this Same Federal Government did to the People Native to our land (My Ancestors) only 60 years ago! "In 1953 the US government passed a law, Relocation and Termination Policy. Federal relationship to 109 Native American tribes was terminated and thousands of people were relocated. Children had to attend Boarding Schools which should make them more European-like. Land was no longer protected and sold to Non-Native people. ‘850,000 Indian people suffer a 42-year life expectancy, seven times the national suicide rate, three times the national average infant mortality rate, and an average income per year per family of $1500 or less. Housing is completely inadequate, and the prisons are crammed with Indian people. The Native Sovereign People have become the most poverty stricken, mistreated, suppressed people in the richest nation in the world, in their own land.’ (New Mexico State Record Center and Archives)"
