I really don't understand why we get checks each month for being Indian. My mom has 5 children and she gets about $8,000 a month including for herself. Can someone explain to me why we get these checks. She told me because the Caucasian people stole our land. But I still don't understand why we get all of this money. And why is it when people find out were Indian and getting all of this money for it they tell my mom she's crazy if they we're her they would have at least 15 kids. They also say they wouldn't be working if they were her. We here it from mostly Mexican people.
