Chief Two Eagles

Where did the white man go wrong?

An old Indian chief sat in his Hogan on the reservation, smoking a
ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U.S. government officials sent to
interview him.

"Chief Two Eagles" asked one official, "You have observed the white
man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances.
You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your
opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and
then calmly replied:

"When white man found the land, Indians were running it. No taxes, No
debt, Plenty buffalo, Plenty beaver, Women did all the work, Medicine
man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night
having sex." Then the chief leaned back and smiled ....

"Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
