    It's hard to fathom how Native-Americans have been treated since "The American Indian War" (1609 - 1924) put them in such a situation of having their sovereignty taken away from them in the past. The Navajo Tribe is the very reason why the United States troops were able to advance against the Japanese with the used of its language during World War II.

      So you would rather have the "zombie" who is controlled by the powers that pull his puppet strings...the one who are worth HUNDREDS of millions of dollars- yet have a salary of $250,000 a year....who hold stock in companies that THEY hire for multi-billion dollar contracts (buy stock before contract is made public) in it for wealth of themselves, not American people? Destroying the economy but have better, more profitable numbers than Warren Buffet and wall street combined? Insider trading is illegal to all Americans...we would be in prison...all assets seized...but they aren't prosecuted EVER....WHY ARE THEY EXEMPT TO LAWS WE MUST FOLLOW? Destroying ALL America for THEIR OWN GAIN. Im Apache/Navajo....soon this kind of video will be filmed in YOUR neighborhood...not only on the Reservations.WATCH, keep being a sheep....the wolf is in your yard TOO. YOU WILL SEE.

    And they get free money every month. When you drive through the reservation there, it's beer bottles everywhere.

      "FREE MONEY?" You should be shamed of what the USA did to a proud people. Stole their land, rounded them up like cattle and to this day treats them horribly.

      You have jobs and HUD-standard houses for them? Jobs that pay enough for them to raise their families? Schools and services that they need to live well, so they see a brighter future? No? Then shut up and sit down.

      The government gave them a bunch of hot boxes to live in. European style houses aren't naturally cool like a traditional pueblo.

      @@angelajohnson5728 do you? Then shut up and try standing up there wobbly knees. If they wanted jobs and better housing, maybe it's time to move out of the desolate desert and give up the free ride.
