solutions, so i m meeting with the man who found success off the reservation, but decided to move back home to help his people. his name is chase iron eyes. he s an activist and a lawyer. and if anyone can help me see solutions to the problems, i m thinking it s him. there is a reputation that reservations have as being places where the crime is high and the drug use is high. it does not sound like places from the outside you would want to bring your family to. tribal nations have a history of being disempowered, having their economic models destroyed. we were emasculated as warrior people. we had a tough time. you can still see that. my grandfather was born in 1900 so it s not like ancient history, you know what i mean? yeah, yeah, yeah. this is real talk. my grandmother went to a boarding school where her hair was cut and she was beaten and scolded for speaking her native tongue. this is my mother, and her mother as well. i know what you re thinking. aren t boarding schools
