Indians in the News

The article I read was titled The Indian Troubles, which talks about how the Indians are not actually poor as everyone says they are, but they are actually the opposite. "The Indians are called poor, but they are in reality the richest people in the world in proportion to their numbers." The Indians are so successful by their lands they own, positions, and jobs in society. Below the headlines it says, "Our rich Indians- Families at $35,000 each and tribes at $3,000 per head. The chiefs passing away- civilizing the Indians slow work. The article also discusses the how the death of chiefs effect the tribes and what goes on. How they are not rivals to the white people but starting to help them improve in many important aspects. Also the Americans are trying to educate the Indians on language and writing and other important things to them. This article illustrates the exact opposite of what I thought it would be by the headline. It talks about how Americans and Indians are working together to make vast improvements in their societies by coming together.
