Yeah, despite all the fuckery the government did to them (and they certainly got the bad end of a lot of sticks), most chose not to pull themselves out of the pit they were in for generations now. Preferring instead to just drink themselves to death with nothing but centuries divorced "heritage" clinging to their name.

The tribes who got nothing, because the government didn't even recognize them, are doing far better off than those who got the reparations and attention.
