I think the film we watched on Elouise Cobell all had a huge impact on all of us. Her courage and perseverance really was like no other. For fifteen years she fought and fought for what she believed was right, and you can’t forget that she did it without getting paid. This video also put a visual of the reservations in it and it really gave me goosebumps. The deal we made with them many years ago we just totally ignore and steal extra oil and don’t even give them the money that was promised. All I could think during the film was, “Does it ever stop?” I mean you literally don’t think it can get worse, but it continues to everyday in class.<\/p>\n
The case by itself blew my mind also. First they thought they really deserved $100 billion. They only asked for around 27 billion dollars which is very generous because the U.S. government really owed them way more. It probably was way more than 100 billion considered many files were lost, that oil companies would lie about the amount of oil they extracted, and they would extract oil at night when no one was around. Then they compromised to 8 billion. Can you guess what happens next? Yep, it went down again to 3.4 billion until it finally got signed. Over and over we dehumanize these people and I really want it to stop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
