Indian treaties made by the common man with world governments have never been honored and have been broken repeatedly. Now as we enter the twenty-first century, there is a basic move to break all treaties and clear title to all Indian lands. Again, in this confused state, the common Native American man has adopted a new and instant leadership role. The people have become afraid, concerned, confused, and emotionally ill on what to do and who to turn to for assistance. With the new instant leadership shirking the common man's responsibility.
Indian nations are now in turmoil.
Many of the children and youth are being adversely influenced by major economies controlling the world today. Examples of this are the sale of guns and the thriving drug trade by organized groups. Young people involved in gangs are armed and easy money, through illegal means, is readily available. These circumstances affect not only the Native American Indian population but people worldwide, as testified to by school shootings and drug overdoses. The common man used to walk ahead of the women and children to protect, guide and make the trail easier to tread.
