    I don’t know how much more depressed you can get by just living in Pine Ridge, but okay we’ll go with that.

      I don’t just mean depression in just the mental sense. Depressed economy, depressed job prospects, depressed education system.

      When systemic injustice is just the way life is for a group of people then they get depressed in more than just mental depression.
