Provide an analysis of the history of the state and the values of the Native communities that inhabited it.
The history of this state began about 15,000 years ago, according to current evidence.  All but the last millimeter or two of that long timeline belongs to Native peoples--who didn't subscribe to your Boys' Life myth about "rugged individualists hacking a life out of the wilderness."  Traditional Native communities believed (and to some extent still believe today) that survival is a shared enterprise.  A man was proud to share his good fortune with the group; equally, a man stayed with his group during hard times.  He didn't run off and take care of his own ass while they suffered.  You whites may do it differently, but I can't see that you've got much to brag about.  Your budget deficit, after all, was made by your own stupid and greedy every-man-for-himself white politics, not according to Native values.
