An old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a
ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U.S. government officials sent to
interview him.
'Chief Two Eagles' asked one official, 'You have observed the white man for 90
years. You've seen his wars and his technologica advances.
You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done.'
The Chief nodded in agreement.
The official continued, 'Considering all these events, in your opinion, where
did the white man go wrong?'
The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly
replied....
When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, No debt,
Plenty Buffalo, Plenty Beaver, Women did all the work, Medicine Man - free,
Indian spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex.' Then the chief
leaned back and smiled........ 'Only white man dumb enough to think he could
improve system like that
the white men came to american, got down on their knees and prayed to their god, then they discovered the natives, kneeled down and preyed on them.
