I doubt that you will find many native people willing to give up all of these things, to live like their ancestors did.

When I read this I thought that it pretty well summed it all up. I kept reading it and then I took out all of the words "our" and replaced it with the word "the". For the most part I lived like my grand parents up until I was sixteen and moved out on my own. Would I do it again? Only if I had to but I could do it because I know how. Lots would be in trouble though because they wouldn't have a clue of how to survive without the stuff we have and that includes natives. What good is a treaty then? So I guess all have lost something as time goes by.
