I'm gonna let Miss Cpl chime in on this since she's the resident expert. I've been urging her to get active on the forums and it seems a topic finally came up that has peaked her interest.

Cplo:
That is why education would have to be shoved down their throats... Likely destroying their culture at a faster pace. The only question becomes. In what manner does their culture die? Quick and remembered more fondly? Or slow and seen as the outdated trash we kept because we felt bad for what we did to them? It would be great if we could save their cultures, but I do not know how such a thing could be done. |

Children born on reservations or who grow up on them are more likely to remain on them throughout their lives, much like anyone else born into poor, uneducated ghettos and trailer parks are likely to remain in the same/similar environment during adulthood. Most reservations are ghettos of sorts. There's a few tribes that have been able to capitalize off of their casinos and resorts and make their reservations "prosperous" but those are really the exceptions to the rule. Drugs, alcohol and a stong lack of emphasis on education plague most reservations just as they do with the poorest of neighborhoods in the rest of the country.

Miss Cpl is Native American (Alaskan to be specific) and has spent much of her life on/around reservations and native culture. In fact, she was a Federal Majestic (aka Tribal Police) on a Kansas reservation for quite a few years. And yes, there's a major drug/alcohol problem on many reservations, especially the poorer reservations. This obviously leads to higher amounts of violence, especially domestic.

From what I have been told, alcohol and meth. All second hand knowledge.

Wow, I'm embarrassed to admit that I am clueless on this one. I have a substantial amount of native american blood in me but I was not raised on or even close to any of the reservations so I do not have that cultural experience.
