Life on the Reservation

Life on an Indian reservation has both its ups and downs. On one hand, your part of a community of people who care about each other and are willing to share their recourses, but on the other hand, there are very limited recourses to go around in most reservations, so usually most of the people live in poverty. Gambling is allowed on Indian reservations so that brings in a lot of the wealth that is spread throughout the tribe. This is necessary because the Indian reservations are not given a lot of money by the government.

The major upside of life on a reservation is the comradery of the people that live on the reservation. The Indian people have a proud heritage and background, and have long been known for their kindness and sharing nature. This is shown in the fact that all of the money that the Indian reservation brings in is split between the tribe.

I’m not really sure this is a good thing but, the Indian reservations are not bound by U.S law, so Indian tribe members can escape the law if they have to by going to their reservation, this can obviously be abused. But nevertheless, it is part of reservation life.

If I had the potion to live on an Indian reservation, I would not, mostly because the average person does not seem to have a luxurious life style, but also because I am so comfortable with my current lifestyle it would be hard to make a change so drastic
