Rich Lone Elk: "A lot of people say [living on the reservation] is like trash, a lot of people leave you know? But to me it's like living in the ghetto, it's just like living in the city, it ain't no different from the city. People are fighting each other, shooting each other, someone's getting beat up every other night."
