This was one of my favorite episodes of 30 Days, I think it’s definitely one for everyone to watch.

It’s ironic that I can quote you Brittany Spears trials and tribulations as can most of the US population.   However, the fact that reservations are without running water fails to make the evening news.   How come I never learned in history class that we ‘gave’ Indians land but didn’t give them rights to the water on the land?  Who decides what is important enough to teach our children, can we only tell them about our mistakes after we have tried to fix them (ie. equal rights).

note: this is a full episode 42min, so get comfortable sit back and enjoy.

you don’t have to sign up for a HULU account, just double click on the video and confirm you are over 18.
