Where are the people?

It is quite a shock to grow up in a small town like I did and even migrate to a larger city and have a large native population and then cross a man made border to find that natives do not exist in some people's minds.

How easy can it be to erase a community all together if you just close your eyes really hard?

If you look at the demographics, you will notice the native population is below 1%.

When Katrina hit, we saw people, there was focus on different communities, but what about the 'invisible' nations?

For example how many people are really talking about Choctaw and their experience with the hurricane?
