- Description
- George Bald Eagle remarried and had 4 children, he got a job as a medical technician, and his job was part of a program created to get people off of welfare. He ended up buying a two-bedroom house that did not have electricity or running water, but he kept the house warm by stoking the fireplace throughout the night. To provide for the kids they had to go off the reservation because there were no stores or Indian businesses, the businesses that were on the land were run by white people. If an Indian wanted a loan they would go to a white man called "Uncle Lyod". Lyod Martison is running a loan shark buisness.
