"Can you please let us in and have a look?" Austin seemed to see the hesitation on the Eagle's face, so he smiled and cleared the way.

The eagle hesitated sideways, and after letting go of the door, he said with an embarrassed expression: "I haven't cleaned up much in this house, and the inside is relatively damp and shabby, I hope you don't care too much!" ”

With that, he reached out and made an inviting gesture and led Pei Pei and Austin into his mud house.

The room was not bright, and when Pei Pei stepped in, she accidentally kicked into a clay pot in the corner of the doorway.

"This is Tata's food bowl!" The eagle smiled and explained to Pei Pei, then raised his foot and gently kicked the clay pot out of the door.

"What about Tata? Went hunting in the jungle? While Pei Pei asked, she curiously looked at the layout of the entire room.

The interior of the house is extremely cluttered and shabby, and there are several hand-woven rattan boxes stacked against the wall at the entrance, and a bundle of barbed wire is rolled around the rattan boxes.

Next to the rattan box is a three-legged wooden shelf, the shelves are a total of four levels, and each layer is stacked with several large or small plastic pots and wooden basins.

Next to the shelf, against the wall, there is also an oval-shaped handmade wooden basin, which looks quite like a bathtub.

There is a boxy wooden table by the window, on which a lot of wooden bowls or clay pots are placed messily, and there are still a lot of food in several pots, which are estimated to be leftovers.

On the other side against the wall, there was a large old cabinet, and one of the handles of the cabinet was still broken.

On the innermost wall, there is also a wooden door, behind which Peipei estimates should be a bedroom.

Surrounding walls. There are subtle cracks in the mottling, and some walls can still see obvious signs of moisture.

All over the house. You can even faintly smell a rotten, moldy, damp smell.

Just as Pei Pei was looking around, the eagle had already covered a cover of the messy food on the table. He then pulled two stools from under the table and beckoned Pei Pei and Austin to take their seats.

"Tata hasn't been coming back much lately, and even I don't see it once every two or three days." After smiling and explaining Tata's situation to Pei Pei, the eagle took out two ceramic cups, then poured two glasses of water, and handed the cups to Pei Pei and Austin.

Then he turned to the wolf's tail, who had entered the house with them, and said, "Help me go to the river and pick some raspberries and come back, and wash them by the way!" ”

The wolf's tail gestured to the eagle in OK, and then spontaneously picked up a plastic basin from the shelf. He turned around and bounced away.

There were only three people in the house now.

Austin gave his wife a look, and Pei Pei immediately opened the topic knowingly: "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I really can't imagine it, I thought that you are now the deputy chief of a tribe, this status has risen, according to my imagination, this treatment should also be improved." I really didn't expect that even the living conditions of the deputy chief were so simple, let alone the rest of the tribe! ”

"Actually, whether it's the chiefs, elders, or ordinary members of the tribe. Everyone's living conditions are not much different! In the final analysis, it is because our tribe has always practiced a communal distribution system, so there is not much difference between the rich and the poor in the whole tribe! The eagle smiled faintly, then continued, "If you've been to see the old chief's house. You'll find that a lot of the stuff in his house is older than mine. ”

"I remember you told me before that you always wanted to change the status quo of the tribe! Now do you have a solution in mind? Pei Pei took the opportunity to extend the topic.

The eagle sighed and replied, "I've talked to some of the young people in the tribe about this. In my opinion, it would be better for young people to go out and find a long-term job. It doesn't matter if you're a cowboy or a worker. It's better than sticking to this mountain forest to have a way out. Most of the young people in the tribe were willing to support my idea, so I asked Old Lyme to help me keep an eye out for any pastures or farms down the hill that needed to be hired. Alas~~~~~ old Lem sued me sù said. Nowadays, most of the farms and farms have basically started to use fully automatic machinery and equipment, and the need for manpower is greatly reduced! Therefore, the young people of the tribe do not have any advantage in the competition for jobs compared to the cowboys who can skillfully operate agricultural machinery and equipment! Even if they are willing to reduce their salaries, a ranch can only provide a maximum of two or three job seekers, and the young people of the tribe can only be sent down the mountain in batches. The most regrettable thing is that when I learned the news that you opened a factory and recruited workers, it was too late, and your factory was already full of people by then! ”

When he said this, the eagle looked at Pei Pei earnestly and pleaded, "Lady Pell, I want to ask you for something!" If your factory needs to continue to recruit people in the future, can you reserve a number of workers for the young people in our tribe? As long as you are willing to provide a job position, the people of our tribe are willing to take a little less than the people under the mountain in terms of salary! ”

- The play meat is coming!

After Pei Pei quietly gave a look to her husband beside her, she smiled and said: "You should know very well that the factory uses the mechanized operation of the assembly line, and there are only a few positions in each workshop, plus I haven't considered expanding the scale of the factory in the short term, so it's not a matter of more money or less money, even if I agree to your request, I won't be able to provide you with a job in a short time!" ”

As soon as Pei Pei's words fell, Austin, who received the look, immediately picked up his wife's words and said, "Mr. Eagle, have you ever thought that it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others?" As far as I know, there are a lot of young people in your tribe, and the young people in the tribe are extremely cohesive, so why do you only think about working for people, instead of integrating all the forces together and then finding a way to start a business? ”

"Entrepreneurship?" After smiling bitterly, the eagle looked at Austin and replied, "Entrepreneurship requires capital!" Just because we go out two or three times a year, sell some handicrafts and mountain goods, where is the money we earn enough to start a business! ”

"And what if someone is willing to invest?" Austin asked tentatively.

"Investment?" The eagle scratched his scalp, looked at Austin suspiciously, and asked, "You mean these handicrafts we made?" Or are they the mountain goods? Will anyone be willing to invest in these things? ”

"Of course, these things alone can't attract people to invest!" Austin chuckled and then pointed to the eagle, "Compared to these, the name of your brown bear tribe is the greatest wealth your tribe has!" ”

The eagle was confused by these words, and he couldn't help but scratch the back of his head again, then blinked at Austin and asked, "I didn't understand what you meant!" Can you make that clearer? ”

"I've heard my wife mention that your brown bear tribe only began to move to the depths of this jungle after the eighties of the last century, and then slowly established this village, right?" Austin didn't immediately solve the Eagles' doubts, but instead betrayed him.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me more about this whole thing?" What Austin learned from Pei Pei was only a partial one, so he wanted to learn more about it from the person concerned.

As soon as the topic of how their tribe had been driven into the depths of the jungle, the eagle's expression immediately became heavy. He turned his head to look at Pei Pei and pondered.

After about two or three minutes of silence, the eagle finally spoke slowly

When the Eagle repeated the experience to Austin, he stared into Austin's eyes and asked, "I want to know, why do you want to inquire about this history?" ”

After pondering the draft, Austin rubbed his chin and smiled, "As far as I know, your brown bear tribe is a distant branch of the plateau Indians, and it has been separated from the entire plateau tribe for more than a hundred years, right?" ”

The Eagle wondered why Austin brought up this topic, but he still nodded and said, "Seriously calculated, our brown bear tribe should have been independent for more than two hundred and thirty years!" ”

Before Austin arrived, he had spent an afternoon on the Internet looking up the branching structures of the Native Americans of the Rocky Mountain Plateau.

The Shoshone, Sioux, Utah, Apache, Blackfoot, and Flathead Indian tribes are all branches of the Highland Indians, and most of these main tribes have obtained the corresponding reservation land from the government.

The geographical location of these reservations can be both good and bad.

For example, the Sioux obtained the location of the reservation in the Bode River area near the Bozeman Trail in the Rocky Great Plains, because the surrounding tourism development is extremely developed, so the hotel industry and the Bo/Cai industry (i.e., gambling/casino) in the reservation area have developed very well, and the Sioux have become synonymous with Indian wealth.

The Apache Nation acquired reserved land in Wisconsin, the Mississippi River and known as the "Land of Blizzards" and "Land of Tornadoes." One can imagine how poor the tribe is.

There's a reason why you look these up! Because the Sioux tribe, which is the main branch of the highland Indians, has applied for independent reserved land from the state government of Montana, it is not so easy for the brown bear tribe, which is also one of the branches of the highland tribe, to apply for a piece of reserved land from the state government! (To be continued......)

PS: The information about the reserved area is not necessarily accurate, and I checked it on the Internet for a long time, but I lost my patience. It can only be said that some of the information is correct, and the other part of the information is impatient to check, so I wrote it according to my own imagination, and I ask some of the party to not be so serious!
