Yes, and it would be funny if it weren't so sad:
The US "annexation" of native American land has resulted in once proud tribes such as the Lakota becoming mere "facsimiles of white people," said Means.I'm going to say something a little politically incorrect because it needs to be said.
Oppression at the hands of the US government has taken its toll on the Lakota, whose men have one of the shortest life expectancies -- less than 44 years -- in the world.
Lakota teen suicides are 150 percent above the norm for the United States; infant mortality is five times higher than the US average; and unemployment is rife, according to the Lakota freedom movement's website.
American Indians are by far the worst off minority in the United States. And it's not because of U.S. government oppression, at least not in the last several decades. And it's not because they are a minority, it's because of their reservations and the culture they maintain on those reservations. No, not their proud heritage and ancient traditions, it's their complacency on those reservations --getting that check, the free truck, and the free housing from the tribe. What's the point of work if your basic needs are covered? With all that free time those energetic adolescents are hardly aching to brush up on their algebra. Same for the 20-somethings. That's why you don't find liquor stores on reservations, it's hard enough keeping bored kids out of trouble.
If the American Indians truly wanted to help out their people, they would rid themselves of reservations and its accompanying lifestyle by ending the dependency they've maintained; they would cut off the handouts. They would fully integrate with the real world --the U.S. and global economy.
But don't hold your breath.

I used to work for a native-american non-profit as a non-native (I was born here?) assisting youth on reservations.
You hit the nail on the head.
It is truly sad what is happening. It is a crime really...
The one's who stole it control it, and now the control is about to come to a bitter end for you white man, and those who bow down to you. Those who think this land is theirs because they were brought here on a ship but don't have any more right to it than you do, they are your servants who do your dirty work by cunningly infiltrating among my people with their deceit to make a way for you to have done the destruction you have done here, and they are also trespassers and will reap with you. You white man; the same inhabitants that have caused terror and pain all around the world and here in this land. You opened this land like the great whore it now is. You white man the cutthroat bastards who have no problem killing. You, who have cut Indian babies from the stomachs of Indian women, and slammed Indian babies against trees to kill them, you who still kill, and have killed for pleasure. God is angry and He is working His wrath right now. You will see more violent storms destroying your crops, more floods destroying your homes, more destruction to pay you back for ALL of the evil you have done since you first breathed on this Earth. You are a black hearted breed who has killed, stolen, and destroyed many people of color all around the world from the continent of Asia to this land. This evil place you call a Christian nation you don’t know God you have no heart. This evil land that was built on Indian blood, you have a great apocalyptic fortune coming and your misfortune will be yourself. Like Sitting Bull said a great flood will come and wipe the white man from the face of the Earth. That day is coming soon and the buffalo WILL return and every Redman that you killed will return on that great day. You call us savages you are the savages. YOU are the devils, the soulless whores, the fagots, the sodomites, the beast lovers, and the blasphemers of the world, you and your servants are the abominations with your jealously, greed, chaotic laws. You kill everything you touch from the Indian to the wolf. You are cursed and a curse, there is no good in you from birth; you are the chaff that will blow away like dust in the wind. You are of your father the devil; you are the seed of Satan and you have built destruction since your forefather Tubal-Cain made the first weapons of destruction, you are Cain the first murder. Your evil deeds will be paid back to you an uncountable fold. The Lord God is fair and always right. Vengeance will be His. What is was in the beginning so it shall be in the end.
