Unless their "different way of looking at life" means they are proud of that fact, I don't think you have a point.

For one thing they don't seem to be as hung up on material wealth as we do. Their old potlatchs are an example and they still follow similar traditions but in our world this is a deadly sin. They are changing though and we sure don't like it as evidenced by this thread.
They're troubles are indications of being focked over by our European civilization. How many suicides, alcoholics, drug abusers, and prisoners were there before we destroyed them. But instead of laying blame on them and us, lets try to give them a chance and let them regain their pride. Entirely too much racial generalization going on here. I try and approach each person as an individual and not make any judgements. With your attitude, they're beat before they start, pretty sick.
