"Consider Lame Deer’s description and what Maslow witnessed at Siksika. Then consider the repetition of the idea that 'the United States of America is the greatest country in the world' despite the facts that one in four US households experience food insecurity, 4 in 10 Americans can’t afford a $400 emergency, the richest 0.1 percent make 196x as much as the bottom 90 percent, and with 40 million in poverty, the US may be the most unequal nation in the Western world.
Precisely for whom is the United States the greatest country in the world?"
~ Teju Ravilochan (contributing editors: Vidya Ravilochan and Colette Kessler)
