Road trip through Indian reservation...

[dan...@rocketmail.com]

Earlier this evening I went for a drive in the country and wound up
passing through an Indian reservation. I wouldn't have known it was
Indian territory except they had lots of signs announcing it, along
with signs stating that it was private property and trespassing was
prohibited along with unauthorized parking, and the whole area was
surrounded by barbed wire.

There wasn't really much to see except a dozen or so identical
prefabricated houses and a few beat-up old pickup trucks. There was
nothing worth stopping for, and I wouldn't have wanted to stop because
everything about the place said stay the fuck out.

After leaving the reservation I passed through a small non-Indian town
with a convenience store with a
'welcome' sign, along with various other businesses and homes, none of
which were surrounded by barbed wire. The residents of this town
actually wanted travelers to stop and spend their money.

I still can't figure out what the residents of the Indian reservation
do for a living. The location would make it difficult to commute, and
they don't seem to have any economic activity at all. I don't even
know what they do for food; nearby non-Indians operate profitable
ranches and farms, but I saw no evidence of this on the reservation,
and I didn't even see tribal members out hunting and gathering.

Were the Natives friendlier in 1492?
