I also believe that this isn't fair or accountable.

That is what you believe. We all have our beliefs. I believe it is wrong for people to become millionaires by plucking incredible profits off what they have managed to gather from Indian people. Such knowledge was put to use for the tribe's benefit out of obligation, not to allow for one's material wealth. It puts a false sense of us into the minds of others. Such knowledge has been passed down form generation to generation. It is as much of part of the people as their ancestor spirits. Such knowledge cannot be attained by buying it from some desperate for cash Indian.

Much is sacred and private and not shared so freely and openly as to compromise personal safety.
