That is what I do not understand, there are programs out there to help the sick and suffering alcoholic why not take advantage of them here?"Native Americans of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Whiteclay, Nebraska, have filed a $500-million lawsuit against beer manufacturers for the devastation that alcohol has wreaked on their community for decades"Then it is up to their brethren to take care of them by providing jobs etc.Casinos only benefit a very small percentage of Native Americans. Most of them live in poverty.
I wonder if the high level of alcoholism among Native Americans has nothing to do with their poverty.
