Native american children who get into trouble are sometimes taken out of their culture and put into non native families to be raised . This is wrong to some degree that are not able to keep their culture alive without meeting and knowing their family .
They need to be exposed to their people and be taught to be proud of their people . If you are a foster parent or know a foster or adoptive parent raising a native american you should encourage them to get into touch with various Indian organizations within their community .These people can get the kids envolved in the native american movement and tell them about wounded knee .
They need to learn how the indians lived off of the land and hunted animals for food and clothing .
They need to have friends if they can find them to play with that are native americans .
We do not want to lose the culture of the native americans because kids or theri parents get into problems because of alcohol or stealing or drugs . .
