It should be the tribe's leader that should have to get the tribe out of
trouble in any way that he could. It is not our business to send them our money
to get food for the people that got themselves into trouble, but I think it

their money on drugs? I doubt that many people would send their hard earned
cash if they knew that the person was .....

undertaken. Traditions and customs that have arisen after the Bible was written
