/his/ everybody

>Why is life so shitty on modern reservations?

Poverty, lack of education, environmental degredation, drugs, corruption.

>Which Tribe/Bands have the most interesting history/mythology/culture?

Shoshone have water babies and gremlins, which are sketchy as fuck when out in the desert at night.

You have to love whatever your local tribe thought of because so often it is so specific to the area you live in. Makes it more interesting.

Whats really amazing is how they quickly they mastered horses. and became a truly nomadic society.

Could any other tribe match the Comanche in battle without having a numerical advantage, assuming no firearms? Their skill on horseback seems to be way ahead of their peers. They even had spears that they used to charge with like lances. That's pretty OP against other tribes that mostly relied on leather and fur armor and weapons like tomahawk, war clubs and knives. Archers could be an issue, but the Comanche could shoot from horseback too.

How is it not the Apache? The terror of the west till the First World War.

They don't see modern society as their society. It's the same reason Chinese still use traditional "Chinese medicine". They are so butthurt about the success of the "West" that they fail to differentiate what is simply culturally Western and what is objectively the correct way of doing things.

Matters were made worse by the US government thinking the best course of action for solving poverty on reservations was by condoning gambling and drug use. The first job of most Amerindians on reservations is stealing from the mentally ill in casinos. This causes them to further dissociate with society because they see it as inherently exploitative and use drugs as an escape.
