The story this morning on NPR’s Weekend Edition about the inability of law enforcement to prosecute rape cases on reservations immediately brought to mind a powerful song “Small World” (available on iTunes) by Jim Boyd and Sherman Alexie.
“It’s a small world,
You don’t have to pay attention.
It’s the reservation
The news don’t give it a mention,
It’s a small world,
getting smaller and smaller.
It’s a small world,
It’s getting smaller and smaller andsmaller. ”
