“Life here is very hand-to-mouth,” the student wrote. “I’m going to be honest with you—sometimes I don’t eat. I’ve never told anyone this before, not even my mom, but I don’t eat sometimes because I feel bad about making my mom buy food that I know is expensive.
“And you know what? Life is hard enough for my mom, so I will probably never tell her.”
Anaya gave the Thomson Visitor Lecture as part of the 2012-2013 Speaker Series of the American Indian Law Program.

This is a problem of the Tribal nations, however, it is the continuing resistance for the truth about Tribal nations not being included in the history of this nation, in an accurate and factual manner. The United State Constitution mentions three governments, but the U.S. citizenry does not get told this in their school systems.
