Discourses of Defiance

I try to not let little things bother me and believe that we are all human and I am not perfect. However, one thing that really bothers me is when non-Native people complain about Natives getting free health care. There are people who do not receive the benefits that we [Natives] do and think it is unfair and stupid. I am not saying every non-Native person feels this way but trust me, there are more that do than don’t. What I think is unfair, is when the white man came to our land, they tried to take over and govern it. I think we deserve a lot more than free health care for what we’ve been through and what we’ve been forced to give up.
