However, a quick search suggests that on-reservation behavior is much worse than off reservation behavior.
I would certainly think so based on my very limited exposure to reservations, mainly fictional tv and the occasional documentary. I'd be curious to see if those who left, say second generation in the real world, display pathologies worse than the general public in a similar situation.

Do those stats differentiate between those who live on a reservation and those who don't?
Depends. Is there a casino involved?

Yeah, I don't know. Either way, that observation widens the culture gap that I was pointing to even wider...and could be wider still if your hypothesis turned out to be accurate.
Incidentally, one of the reasons given for on-res behavior being so much worse was that law enforcement is so lax on-res. Perps simply don't get charged with crimes that they would get charged with in the real world. And that fits with what research says about deterrence. Harsh penalties do not deter crime, but a higher likelihood of being caught does.

Simple, expedient justice will deter crimes.

Embarrassing. I guarantee this fight started for a dumb reason.
They should put that energy into finding jobs, doing well in school, and building their community. I'm tired of this crap, and so is the rest of the country.

Nah.
That's what we had in colonial America. If you got caught you were tried usually within a week. For a felony you were either set free immediately following an acquittal or hanged immediately following a conviction. Publicly, so everyone saw justice being dispensed.
And the murder rate was six times what it is now in America.
No mater how much y'all claim, "If it was carried out immediately it would work," or, "If it was public it would work," or "If we killed everybody for a felony it would work," no data bears it out. No historical data, no research data, nothing.
We've literally had exactly the conditions you guys always claim "will work" in this country. The exact conditions. Yet they didn't work.
You know why?
Because back then the likelihood of being caught was so much lower. They didn't have a police force with detectives (maybe in big cities they did, but most people didn't live in big cities back then), they had one sheriff. Maybe a couple of deputies.
So unless you were caught in the act, you usually got away with it.
Just like the research says. Harsh punishment, swift punishment, public punishment, doesn't matter, no deterrent.
High likelihood of getting caught, deterrent.

I knew there was something hauntingly familiar about that video.

It would be even better if they could superimpose her doing the narrations from her porch right on the battlefields and right in front of animals fighting.
The lady recording deserves an Emmy.

Were any animals harmed during the filming of that video?

Waited all the way until the end of the video to hear somebody finally say what I was thinking the whole time, “Get your arse in the house”.

It's because you're racist as frick. It's always the white man's fault.

Summer of my SR year of HS I worked with a guy that had just come from Nigeria and was going to Loyola that fall. It was amazing how much better his mastery of English got from june to august. We hung out a bit over that summer and when we ran into some guys I knew in our age group in my grand parents and great grand parents neighborhood - at we chatted with some that I played ball with and against - when we drove off - in dead serious ness he aske me - "could you understand ANYTHING they said?"
