  1. God Bless.
    Thank you for posting.
    Before Covid-19.
    If it helps..
    I read that those whom are Native Indian were trying *hard* to rid it’s community of all alcoholic products.
    I pray they will be successful.
    😔🙏
    Myself. I quit *every* drop, even wine, on January 1st, 2012.
    My husband was never an alcoholic.
    My daughter is 26 and never became one.
    Alcoholism runs high in my family too.
    Thank you for reading.📚
    Love inside 💕
    “Pure” Michigan, USA 🇺🇸

    1. Wowww❗💯 We only got one in the East… Ny, Ct, Ma… No wonder why certain places Love Trump 🤔 Hmmm..

  2. My heart is there with you all. I am only one Mountain girl in this world, but I send you hope, I send you prayers. I send my Love to each and every one suffering today.
    Thank you helpers. Spirit works through us. Don’t ever forget that. Much Love from the Mountain. 🙏💜⛰️

  3. That’s what happens when you run your communities like communists. The elders get all the money and distribute it as they see fit.

    1. @Pretty good Guy the educated know how economies work. successful economies don’t see ethnicity. a thriving community is a choice.

    1. They catch this in their communities and good amount die from it, then we are literally eradicating the people who first ran these lands that everyone trashes and pisses on because mainstream Americans doesn’t know history.

  4. Don’t look here for information about Biden’s BIG TROUBLE 😂 Hunter’s incarcerated buddies are singing and early voters want their ballot back 🤔

  5. I dont know where everyone stands in terms of this pandemic, but you cannot blame Trump for the US covid deaths and call him a mass murderer for it.

  6. Indigenous to where? They migrated via a land bridge from Asia long, long ago. We’re all native to Africa. There is one race. The human race. If the reservation is that bad… leave. This isn’t a fascist or communist country. You’re free.

    1. Don’t be ignorant ….the white man want that land bridge theory to stick so bad they are jealous we were here before them …why the hate …???

    2. @James Peterson the human genome project. Look it up. You’ve got the world’s knowledge at your fingertips.
      All our genomes originated in Africa. There were 5 known migration events. This is readily available information.

  7. (Primarily in blue states).

    Maybe if they had voted red they wouldn’t have been forced into draconian lockdowns and constant rioting.
