This quote appears to be from Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions about John Lame Deer’s tribe, the Lakota people, and his experiences.
I didn’t read the book I just wanted to find out where the quote was from. It is from one man’s lived experiences in his tribe.
Communities with less took care of those who were the worst off, why can’t we?
We can. We choose not to. There's a difference.
Take that as an indication of everyone you interact with during your day on where their priorities lie.
Including you I assume
This is always such a stupid take.
Like whenever I say humanity should be purged there's always that one guy "tHaT iNcLuDeS yOu"
No shit. I'm part of the problem whether I want to be or not.
Lol and you thought mine was a dumb take. If you survive the next few decades your post history is gonna cripple you with cringe.
lol ur cringe
Yeah, attribution for quotes is kinda important - especially when there's so many people faking native American quotes out there. Any time you see something about "native wisdom" or a a quote, you should immediately look for attribution. At the very least, you should get the nation/tribe and time period of the quote. Otherwise, it's pablum
