[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the white men were sooooo evil why did the Indian women keep marrying them over and over year after year?[/quote]
Internalized racism. But also plenty of people marry people they don’t realize are evil. [/quote]
I believe if they were married to white people they didn’t have to have a guardianship controlled by a government official. Many Natives were declared incompetent intentionally to give them a tax advantage on their wealth derived from the oil/land value. If they weren’t the US imposed massive taxes on their money so many Natives willingly signed guardianship documents.  This means every time they wanted to spend money they needed to ask a guardian and there was a long bureaucratic process. If they were married to a white person they could act as their guardian giving them more freedom as they were married. [/quote]

In the movie, Mollie still has to ask her guardian for money to go to Washington DC even though she is married to Ernest. So that theory is not valid.[/quote]
