In response to Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg visiting the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, Dr. Cheryl Crazy Bull, president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund has a message.
“In his Facebook post it was clear that the social and economic issues they [Zuckerberg and his wife] saw made a powerful impression on them,” Crazy Bull said in a blog post.
“The Blackfeet have been on this land for 10,000 years, and for most of that time they followed the buffalo — for food, shelter and clothing. Then settlers came, took their land through war, and implemented programs that made the Blackfeet dependent on the state. The chairman told me they ‘ripped the pride out of our chests and back filled it with alcohol,’” Mark Zuckerberg said in his post.
