Tribal members who go to cities still return to the reservation for services
- [Lindberg:]
- But do you know people in the cities that just left the reservation?
- [John:]
- I do.
- [Lindberg:]
- You do, yeah. So what’s it like for them? Do they feel lonesome?
- [John:]
- The people that I know, I’ve not—that’s not—I don’t think so.
- [Lindberg:]
- Yeah, well, do they keep coming back here, or do they just leave and that’s the end of it?
- [John:]
- And I may be thinking locally. To me, Jackson, Mississippi is a city compared to here.
- [Lindberg:]
- Well, yeah, sure, absolutely.
- [John:]
- When I say locally they live not too far from here that they do come here for service.
- [Lindberg:]
- So they still feel part of your tribe.
- [John:]
- Right.
