On the Reservation

Reservations were the main start of civilization in America.  But as time progressed and cities began to come about, it ended up being less common for people to live on reservations.  I personally think that living on a reservation could have its pros and cons, I would probably want to live on a reservation or at least stay there for a while.  It seems like it can be a very relaxing place to be.  There will be a very small community where almost everybody knows each other.  Another thing is it helps you value life and your environment more by staying on the reservation because you will become more independent with certain things and will rely on others less.  I think it can help one adapt better to the outside world because there is more space for you to be isolated and alone if thats what u choose to be.
The only bad part I can think of is some things outside of the reservation you will have no clue of because you will be so use to one way of life and not use to what others go through that do not live on reservations.  Even though some things may be better left unknown, you should at least still have the knowledge on all possible subjects than just not knowing at all.  There will be things that you've never witnessed but at lease you still will know it exist out there somewhere in the world, just not on your reservation.
