Truth in Politics

[eaglefeather]

It was election time and a politician decided to go out to the
>local reservation and try to get the Native American vote. They
>were all assembled in the Council Hall to hear the speech. The
>politician had worked up to his finale, and the crowd was getting
>more and more excited. "I promise better education opportunities
>for Native Americans!"
>
>The crowd went wild, shouting "Hoya! Hoya!" The politician was a
>bit puzzled by the native word, but was encouraged by their
>enthusiasm. "I promise gambling reforms to allow a Casino on the
>Reservation!"
>
>"Hoya! Hoya!" cried the crowd, stomping their feet.
>
>"I promise more social reforms and job opportunities for Native
>Americans!" The crowd reached a frenzied pitch shouting "Hoya!
>Hoya! Hoya!"
>
>After the speech, the Politician was touring the Reservation, and
>saw a tremendous herd of cattle. Since he was raised on a ranch,
>and knew a bit about cattle, he asked the Chief if he could get
>closer to take a look at the cattle.
>
>"Sure," the Chief said, "but be careful not to step in the hoya."
