Kids today seem to have forgotten the culture. Another concern is the degree to which American Indians are becoming assimilated by European-American culture. Everybody on the reservation wants cable TV installed. All the kids want Nintendo People can go to ceremonies and seek initiation into the societies and information of the past, but they are becoming assimilated by America. The value system between what is Indian and what is European-American starts to become indistinguishable.
People are also concerned about the effects that gaming is having on the communities.
Gaming has brought many changes to the communities. Most people coming back to the reservation are thinking of profits, not the traditions. They like the money, the green stuff. There is a particular concern about the state of native languages because the loss of language is a loss of culture. About five to ten years ago I started to get alarmed.
