Today, more than 70% of Native Americans live off reservation.
And
they’re now spending time responding to the proposed resolution rather than focusing on their own legislative priorities
IE, give us more money.
I am not well studied on Indian affairs. But the language of the resolution is true and highlighted by the tribes themselves when they want more funds for this and that.
Changing the system would upset a huge money making apple cart, I am guessing from the response.
I go to the Apache reservation in New Mexico and have been to other reservations. The tribe there has done very well, thank you. Casinos, gas stations, restaurants. People who work there seem very happy. I’m sure they like the way things are.
