An open letter to Alan Grier: -

enjoyed your Oct. ‘11 letter. It’s about time some-

ody said something about these savage Indians.

After all, ‘Gad knows where they would be without
cheeseburgers and ice cream.’ No really, there are

- conveniences that have been developed by our country.

What you have to do is look at the big picture. ~

’ “Here is a quick lesson on so-called Indian benefits.
“-1) Indian housing is government owned and run,
“:2)-We pay rent. Are you in shock? Yes we pay rent.
3) Basic educational funding is not provided to our
people i in any different manner than it is to

you or anybody else.

4) You can go to your local employment office to

., apply for educational funding. That’s what this savage
ice-cream eating Indian did.

‘ 5) Me go to school, me allowed to vote, and me can

even drive. Maybe someday me go and crawl under a

"sock so you can have your almighty cheeseburgers to
yourself but don’t count on it.

~ 6) With the current laws that are governing reserves,
a first nations personcan never legally own the
house: they reside in, They are governed by the band
council which in turn is governed by the government,

.- 9) My ancestors were not permitted to speak their
own language in the schools of the cheeseburger in-
ventors, —

_ 8) If they spoke one word of their mother tongue they
were beaten and punished severely,
9): Several of my people were subjected to rape and

last hundred years.

“subjected to sexual, mental and physical abuse. ~
”->. can see how a person such as yourself can form the
opinions: that you have. It’s easy. Everyone necds

"-"The‘most important lesson of all is that our mother is
