Living on a reservation would really suck. It seems to me that it's like your living your life as a dead end job. There is no way to have success on a reservation there are no busineses that are stimulating the small economy and even if there was there is no money to sustain it. It's just a continuous circle of depression heavy drinking and fry bread. If the movie is my only window into reservation life it would lead me to believe that no one that lives on a reservation seems to contribute anything to the larger community. I completely understood the motivation to just uproot and leave it all behind, what could your motivation be to stay in such a place besides for the obligation of living out your days with the people you call your family.
These reservation have been put in a box of what they can do. No matter what they cannot be independent of the goverment because unless the group is fortunate to have a good location and can open a casino and reak havoc on the white man who put you there by running their pockets and crunching their coin purses on the coin slots there is next to no chance of prosperity of anyform.
