Huey and the Lakota Indians

Huey defines social justice by describing the Lakota Indians battle for their land. He goes into detail describing the things America has done to wrong the Native Americans, such as violating treaty agreements and attacking tribes. Throughout this history, there are pictures in the background clearly depicting the modern day Indians and the problems they face. He says that the Indians still have injustice because they are unemployed and many people live below the poverty line. I think this is a sad thing to see that after all America has done to them the Native Americans are still suffering. Many of them live in run down old houses, packed together with several other families. Even though America is supposed to be the land of opportunity the Indians do not seem to be getting any of these opportunities. Living in a packed reservation and trying to find employment the Lakota have very little opportunity to improve themselves and their surroundings. In Huey’s opinion everyone in America turns a blind eye to the Lakota’s struggle and they are not doing anything to help improve their conditions. We help those people suffering in other countries but when it is in our own country we ignore it.
