i live around natives and a lot of my friends are natives. what you said are pretty true what you said but where im from, i don't think it is as bad as katrina. at least around here, the tribe just don't know how to manage its resource and govern its own people. i saw the news about this shoes just like an hour ago, it was pretty stupid. Make a shoes to fit natives foot print will help them be in better shape or just make it that much more comfortable to walk down the block to get a ball?
