And so it was the daily slew of Indian heads and this "redskin" slur everywhere, while my job was going up on the Hill and trying to lobby for hospitals, for funding for schools, for basic government services, and being told again and again that Indian people were incapable of managing our own affairs.
Havia uma grande quantidade de indígenas todos os dias e o insulto de "pele-vermelha" por toda a parte, enquanto meus esforços estavam no Congresso, na tentativa de fazer lobby para hospitais, crédito educativo, serviços básicos do governo, e ouvindo muitas vezes que o povo indígena era incapaz de cuidar de seus próprios assuntos.
