We made a huge mistake when we told them we would make them "wards of the government" and furnish them everything in exchange for their land - some still live that way... Government housing, SNAP, Commodities, annual tribal payments, no property/vehicle taxes, etc. ,etc-- now the Cobell payments-- they don't need to work... Gives them time to party or peddle drugs....
But those that want to work have every opportunity including government subsidized educations... And many have become very successful... I watched several tribal members from both Belknap and Peck with big grins on their faces as they sold their calves at the local salesbarn today...
Did Stacy spend a lot of time on the rez?
