Blackfeet Nation of Montana
This is certainly not a comprehensive article on this fascinating Nation and I don't wish to be disrespectful. My son-in-law and thus my granddaughter are from this Nation, one of the oldest in our world. I am writing this out of my deep respect. These are the true Americans. Not the gun-toting, chest beating nationalists who call themselves Americans and claiming to be Patriots. DNA research has shown that the Blackfeet Nation has been on this land for 18,000 (eighteen thousand for those who those the comma was a typo). White man has been here about 500 years.

The practice has evolved into a significant part of the American economic model, with a federal subminimum wage for tipped workers allowing employers to pay significantly less than the standard minimum wage, making tips effectively a core part of the workers' pay.

Lord's Prayer
Someone asked me why Catholics, when saying the Our Lord’s Prayer in their private prayers, stop at “deliver us from evil”, while Protestants, on the other hand, end with “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
