The old chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking the ceremonial pipe, eyeing the US government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles" one official began, "you have observed the white man for almost 100 years. You have observed his wars and his material wealth. You have seen his progress and the damage he has done.
The chief nodded that it was so.
The official continued "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
The chief stared at the government officials for over a minute, and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it.
NO TAXES
NO DEBT
PLENTY BUFFALO
PLENTY BEAVER
WOMAN DID ALL THE WORK
MEDICINE MAN FREE
INDIAN MAN SPENT ALL DAY HUNTING AND FISHING
Then the chief leaned back and smiled, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
