http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/20/lakota-warriors-vow-to-crush-dirty-rainbow-hippies.html

The Rainbow Family, a loose-knit unorganized group of people who has summer gatherings, wants to hold their gathering this year in the Black Hills of South Dakota. There are two problems with this: 1. Rainbow Family gatherings have had more than a few bad incidents in the past, and even if they were on their theoretical best behavior, they create a lot of waste and strain on resources wherever they go. 2. The Black Hills of South Dakota are sacred to the Lakota Sioux, and at least some of them are more than a little annoyed that the Rainbow Family is planning to poo poo up their land.

I've talked to people who have had experience with the Rainbow Family, and I've heard plenty of bad things. It is not just a bunch of hippies hanging out, there is a lot of hard drug use, theft, and crime that seems to ride along with it. Its like the Gathering of the Juggalos, only with no one responsible.

Anyone have any Rainbow Family experience?

The Lakota should just set up themselves like shamans, make up some bullshit, and charge a shitload of money for it.

These are the type of hippies that don't have money, though. Otherwise, a pretty good idea.

I've never heard of the Rainbow Family group before. According to a wikipedia page their origins are in the 1970's and they have chapters around the world?

What functionally differentiates this group from a more peaceful version of the juggalos?

The fact that a more peaceful version of the juggalos would be more peaceful than the juggalos.

if they're actively loving things up for other people aren't they no longer hippies and instead are just middle aged burnouts?

Why don't more social subcultures get it in their head to gently caress with natives anyway?

I guess they weren't run off so much but the Forest Service was pissed because they take zero care of the land that they use. They haven't been back since '01 apparently.

All hippies are pretty much useless parasites like gypsies or welfare queens.

8000 square miles is a bit much to declare sacred. Maybe they should reserve a few hundred square miles.

The Sioux should be able to kill as many trespassing hippies as they want, provided they use traditional methods.

Plus it's really weird to have a hippie gathering on a literal seabed of empty beer cans.

Yeah truth be told if they had guns they probably would have done some colonizing of their own, I'm pretty convinced it's human nature.

well yeah, there was like 6 or 7 major tribes and they all loving hated each other. for whatever reason people think natives were somehow all living in harmony with nature and smoking peace pipes and doing indian magic but mostly they were murdering each other so they could live on better land/eat that night just like whitey
