How Sad Is This and What Does It Say About The State of Our Country?
I traveled 1/2 hour to a local Indian Reservation to buy a gift for an English pen pal who is interested in Native America. Many beautiful things there. I ended up buying a small medicine bag with the history of it's use and a few other items. Need to buy small since the US Postal Service discontinued surface mail (they weren't making any money on it they said) as otherwise it costs a fortune to mail anything heavy first class. I got home and was reading the little card about the history and on the back it said "not an Indian made product. MADE IN CHINA". WTF? I never in a million years thought to look for that little statement on something bought in a reservation store. Pissed me off.

It's very sad, but the Indians are smart. Rather than waste all that time making all that tourist crap they just order it all from China. The Indians are probably all on welfare and don't make anything any more.
Those Amish hand-crafted fireplace mantels are actually made in China, too. Nothing is made in the US any more.

You've got NAFTA to thank for that.
