Native

Installing government paid for phone at a residence.  The place was hard to find.  It wasn't a house, but a tin shed, with an add on.   He was an old Native American, and his two adult children lived with him.   Nearby was a cleared foundation.   He tells me how his house burned down two years ago, and the tribe said they would rebuild it.  They had been putting him off the entire time.   They shared a single room, and it was littered with garbage, and had beds on the floor.   While leaving, I noticed a bath tub filled with soapy water.  I hadn't noticed it because it was hidden from the road by a sheet of plywood.  

Father, son and daughter were all missing numerous teeth.
