Back then, they weren't called "reservations" , it was actually beautiful non polluted lands that we managed to completely destroy. The United States deny rights to Indians despite the fact that they have more heart than most of us do.

Breaking promises can break friendships, family, loved ones and worst of all.. trust.

Student Success Statement 

"My basic principle is that you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they're popular; you make them because they're right." 

Theodore Hesburgh 

(former president of Notre Dame) 

Refection: I think what he's trying to say is the real reason why people make decisions. A person makes decisions to find out what the best option is. They narrow down their options and pick choices that they think are the right ones. Decision making takes critical thinking and sense of judgement.
