I have some experience with indians, although they were in Canada, not the US. The indians there were a very humble people, full of love. Sure, they probably could have done more to better their circumstances. And sure, there were a few who were rowdy and seemed to be looking for handouts. For the most part, however, I was very impressed. I was always welcomed onto the reservations, treated kinder than in some of the cities in which I have lived, and made several friends. I will always rember those reservations by that small town in Saskatchewan.
I never had experience with the indians wanting more land. The indians I knew, for the most part, were content with what they had.
Just my experience.
