The European settlers had a problem with the Native Americans from the moment they landed in America. For one, they thought the indigenous way of life to be “savagery” and believed that the Native Americans needed to be “civilized”, something they believed only Europeans could teach them about. They found the gods and spirituality of the various indigenous cultures to be blasphemous and nonsensical, and many Europeans attempted to convert the Natives to Christianity, a more “proper” religious belief. Most of all, though, the Europeans and the indigenous communities had vastly different concepts of property and land ownership. To the settlers, who came from the feudal systems of Europe, land was a commodity, purchased and sold by individuals, and prosperity (and social status) was determined by who owned the most properties, and the most prosperous lands. They became lords and could employ the less fortunate to work under them, paying them a fraction of their profits, while keeping the rest for themselves. This was how things worked in Europe back home, and this is the system they brought with them when settling in the New World.

Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community: This is consistently cited as one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, Native American tribe. Their wealth, estimated at $2.7 billion, largely comes from successful gambling and resort ventures, including the Mystic Lake Casino and Little Six Casino. Adult members reportedly receive substantial monthly payments (around $84,000, or $1.08 million annually).

BRIARCLIFF, Texas – A world away from the stage, and with the steering wheel of his old pickup truck instead of a guitar in hand, Willie Nelson loves few things more than to go on a drive around his 700-acre chunk of the Texas Hill Country near here.
He calls his ranch "Luck" and smiles as he explains, "When you’re here, you're in Luck, and when you're not, you're out of Luck."
Over 70 horses roam Nelson's ranch, most of which he rescued before they could be sent to slaughterhouses.
"My horses are probably the luckiest horses in the world," Nelson said. "They get hand-fed twice a day, and they were just ready to go to slaughter is probably the last thing they remembered, so they’re happy horses."
Nelson has included his love for horses in a CD that will be released in early summer. It's a song entitled "Ride Me Back Home."
As he approaches his 87th birthday, Nelson is still touring and spending about 200 days on the road.
"It’s a lot of traveling and being away from home," Nelson said. "But that’s what we do."
With the exception of a benefit performance in 2018 for then-senatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke, Nelson’s shows are void of politics.
"We leave all of that at home," Nelson explained. "I think that’s why a lot of people show up, because they don’t have to worry about what they’ve been watching on TV all day."
Though in good health and living a relatively stress-free life, Nelson noted that it hasn't always been that way, as reflected in troubles he had with the IRS.
Nelson said, "I remember that I remember those guys." He's since settled his debt and moved on.
"You're supposed to get a little smarter as we get older," Nelson said with a smile. "Every now and then, I think I’m getting a little smarter, but I’m not sure."
Among the things he remains focused on are advocating for the legalization of ma*****na, marketing his brand of ma*****na, called "Willie’s Reserve," where it's legal and raising money for American farmers during his annual Farm Aid Concerts.

One of the earliest known photographs of a Native American with a wolf offers more than historical curiosity—it reveals a profound connection between two beings shaped by nature and mutual respect. Captured in the late 1800s, the image speaks to Indigenous traditions that viewed the wolf not as a threat, but as a revered companion. In many Native cultures, the wolf was seen as a symbol of courage, intuition, and loyalty—a creature to learn from, not to conquer.
Wolves were woven into the fabric of tribal life across North America, celebrated in stories and honored in ceremony. They embodied the values of survival, unity, and balance, mirroring the structure of Indigenous communities themselves. The quiet trust shown in the photo reflects this shared spirit—a world where people and animals lived in close relationship, guided by the rhythms of the earth and a deep understanding of interdependence.
As colonization spread and modern expansion erased much of the old ways, such intimate bonds began to fade. But that single photograph remains, echoing the wisdom of a time when harmony with the natural world was central to life. It stands as a testament to a worldview rooted in reverence, reminding us that respect and kinship once defined the way we walked among other living beings.

Keanu Reeves was abandoned by his father at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister has leukemia. And with everything that has happened, Keanu Reeves never misses an opportunity to help people in need. When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants; One cried because he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 and on the same day Keanu deposited the necessary amount in the woman's bank account; He also donated stratospheric sums to hospitals. In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery and bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him. After winning astronomical sums for the Matrix trilogy, the actor donated more than $50 million to the staff who handled the costumes and special effects - the true heroes of the trilogy, as he called them. He also gave a Harley-Davidson to each of the stunt doubles. A total expense of several million dollars. And for many successful films, he has even given up 90% of his salary to allow the production to hire other stars. In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours. Most stars when they make a charitable gesture they declare it to all the media. He has never claimed to be doing charity, he simply does it as a matter of moral principles and not to look better in the eyes of others. This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought: To be a good person.❤️

Congratulations - Lily Gladstone for being the first Native Indigenous Blackfeet/Nimíipuu Female in its eighty one year history, to win the Best Actress at the Golden Globe Awards for her role in "Killers of the Flower Moon!"
"The villains are fairly obvious in “Flower Moon,” but Scorsese asks audiences to take a wider look at systemic racism, historical injustice and the corruptive influence of power and money, intriguingly tying together our past and present." ~ Brian Truitt,
"Gladstone, in the rare Scorsese film that gives center stage to a female character, is the emotional core here, and it's her face that stays etched in our memory."
~ Jocelyn Noveck
“This is for every little Rez kid, every little urban kid, every little Native kid out there who has a dream and is seeing themselves represented in our stories told by ourselves, in our own words..." ~ Lily Gladstone
"We Are Still Here!" 🪶
