Continued Oppression of Native Americans

An article from CNN was online today discussing the immense poverty the Lakota continue to face. You can read it here.

What isn't mentioned is that the Pine Ridge Reservation also persists in being the poorest place in the nation. Here, unemployment tops 80%, the weather is often oppressive, and people have few resources. You can help out by contributing to the Friends of the Pine Ridge Reservation. They also have a number of 'drives' to gather supplies for schools, etc.
