Let's not forget the Lakota people (Sioux)
D.Anton

The Lakota of the Pine Ridge Reserve in the state of South Dakota in the US are extremely poor.
Unemployment is 80-90%. Their income is $ 4,000 per capita. The vast majority live below the poverty line. Life expectancy is among the smallest in the world; 48 years for men and 52 for women. Alcoholism is widespread. The Lakota language is disappearing. Of the 120,000 lakotas existing today, only 20,000 speak their language.
Without identity or future, young people commit suicide.
However, the Lakota or Sioux were among the most dynamic and prosperous peoples of North America. They were farmers and buffalo hunters in their ancestral territory of more than 200,000 km2 with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. From 1870 to 1882 there was an extermination of buffalos.
The government of the United States through its army and professional hunters managed to kill 20 million in 12 years, removing the source of power to the Lakota communities. Then they took the land. Today they have less than 10% of their original territory and left only the least fertile and unproductive.
In the United States they have forgotten the Lakota and for the worse they do not care.
But we should not forget them
