Rightly Indians Gained

When I look on the white mans past     
And the tribes that never did last             
We have Reagan to thank
Indigenous profits, bank
Casinos, through the doors you'll pass






"Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expects to receive an equivalent, or to
have his gift returned."

"My slant differs somewhat slightly to the fact they were forced to give their lands away,
eventually time and Guilt made the modern white man see sense and return their lands somewhat"
