Native American standard of living falls farther behind nation as the politicos debate “transgender rights”
Native American standard of living falls farther behind nation as the politicos debate “transgender rights”
In a previous editorial it
was pointed out that all national political party conventions in 2016
ignored the existence of Native American citizens, while parading before
the media every other possible ethnicity in their carnie shows. What
we have seen over and over again during the past sixteen years is
peripheral Non-Issues getting front stage attention by elected leaders
of both major parties and the media, while the fundamental needs of
America’s Middle Class and in particular, Native Americans, are not even
mentioned.
Native
Americans furnish over twice the percentage of men and women to the US
Armed Forces of any other ethnic group in the United States. Did
either political party feature two grieving Native American parents, who
lost their son or daughter in the Middle Eastern wars? Were any Native
Americans invited to the lectern to discuss how they couldn’t find a
job when they got out of the military?
