First they were decimated, then they were forced into "reformation camps" to break their spirit, and then casino licenses and the like were thrown to them as a bone (and to corrupt and silence the more tempted or gullible with the easy money).
The government and various interested parties even try to take some of their supposedly "sovereign" reservation lands from them and/or poison them to get profitable minerals such as Uranium.
- rayiner 14y agoHave you seen this movie re: uranium mining on Navajo land? http://navajoboy.com/ http://navajoboy.com/ I met one of the creators of the movie in Chicago.

His group followed up the movie with webisodes to update the story and use the movie to put pressure on the EPA.
