PHOENIX -- It seems that Native American communities have discovered yet another colonizer plot in the sweltering Arizona desert – only this time, it’s not land theft or forced assimilation. It's nothing more than a downright dodgy internet rehab scam with a special flavor of cacti mockery. Autumn Nelson, a conscientious member of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, was led down a prickly path when she sought help for alcohol addiction last spring. Word-of-mouth led her to a seemingly promising rehabilitation center in Phoenix, or as Nelson soon would refer to it, "the charlatan charm of the cactus city." After concluding her ceremonial sage cleanse, she confusedly stumbled onto the Arizona sandy soil. The promised wonderland of recovery, far from the snow-capped mountains of Montana, instead turned out to be the 'wild wild west' of internet scams. But with her indomitable spirit stoked by centuries of ancestral resilience, this Blackfeet warrior didn't just take it lying down. "With the guile of a shadow coyote," quipped Nelson, "I waltzed into the mirage of the 'rehab center,' only to find a hasty retreat was in order when greeted by the scam-happy owner, a man who introduced himself as 'Good 'ol Bobby.'" It seems 'Good 'ol Bobby', who apparently viewed the concept of customer service as blatantly overrated, had misleading business ethics. The supposed rehabilitation center was, in fact, nothing more than a bait, promising recovery but delivering the punch of century-plant liquor instead. When asked about it, 'Good 'ol Bobby' could not be reached for comment, leading Native American communities to conclude that he might be off creating yet another venture, perhaps something like 'Mirage Cruises' — cruise on dry land, guaranteed seasickness-free journeys! Standing tall amidst the deceitful desert, our Blackfeet warrior turned towards the only reliable solace around — the cactus plants. "These innocent beings piercing the desert landscape offered more support than this fraud could ever dream of," Nelson declared. "At least they stay true to their spiky nature." Taking this as a call to action, the tribal communities across multiple states are now campaigning fiercely against such ploys. With a collective strength, they refuse to let their fight against addiction be reduced to a scammer's paradise. Despite the rife exploitation, their spirits remain as resilient as the desert cactus, standing tall and firm against adversity. When asked if they had a unique method of identifying potential scam artists, they pointed to a bunch of cacti named 'Good 'ol Bobbies.' And we have to say, they really are prickly. At the end of the day, it seems that the resilience and humor of the Blackfeet Nation is far stronger than any attempted scam could ever hope to be.
