Huey defines Social Injustice.

6 Oct

Huey essentially defines social injustice as the oppression or unequal treatment of a populous; using the Lakota Native Americans as an example to thoroughly define how oppressive the American government is. Through the fifteen minutes of depressing examples, he explained their modern existence. He explained the majority of the population is Alcoholic and there is constant domestic abuse in the tribe, which leads to grandparents raising children.

Huey describes the Lakota’s past history in chronological sequence. He said the Lakota Native Americans of Blackfoot Hills, North Dakota, the majority, were killed or pushed out of the area. He showed the audience a map of the U.S., that if the Lakota were treated fairly, would have a reservation the area of Iowa. The Lakota now have a one-hundred mile area to fit their population. The American treated the Lakota’s unfairly and still are receiving little compensation for what they did in the past.
