If only it had been adequately funded Elizabeth Warren could have afforded more Native American DNA.
“violence against women and climate change”... I never thought I would these two subjects in the same sentence.
Climate change isn’t occurring and is essentially left wing claptrap, so we’ve got that covered... Violence against women is a ‘real’ and very serious problem.
AP’s Ms. Fonseca should be ashamed of herself for putting them both in the same sentence.
That would be my exact question to her.
How long has there been a lack of political will?
BETTER:
With some NATION/TRIBES raking in hundreds of millions, if not billions, in gaming revenue wouldn’t it make sense to expect them to share this money and help with any funding issues?
So the USA (taxpayers) are expected to totally fund all aspects of life for those whose ancestors were American Indians.
That must stop. The idea of a sovereign nation within a sovereign nation is stupid.
Nothing new.
Some tribes are using casinos to fund their hospitals etc.
And a major scandal is the theft of their mineral resources.
APBS...
Funding has remained mostly flat since then, leaving tribes unable to tackle an epidemic of suicide, high dropout rates, violence against women and climate change, for example, the report said.
...
This article gives me the impression that first settlers are unable to take care of themselves.
Aren’t indian nations essentially sovereign? If so what business is it of ours to fund them? They want the goodies then remerge into the US for real.
Maybe Native Americans have failed themselves?
The fiscal year 2019 requests for more than 20 federal agencies and sub agencies that serve tribes and tribal communities was about $20 billion — $2 billion less than what was enacted the previous year, according to the report.

And there is the problem. 20 agencies feeding at a $20B trough. Out of that, $20B what fraction ends up actually being spent for the Indians?
“...suicide, high dropout rates, violence against women and climate change...”
One of these things is not like the others.
Exsqueeze me. It's been about 120 years since the natives were defeated in North America. Historically speaking I don't recall any other conquering peoples giving freebies to the conquered in all of human history. Just when exactly is enough enough?
If they’d had a bigger defense budget they’d still own this place!
stop funding tribes. There is a welfare system in place. Individuals and families can go there as needed, If they want to have organizations and tribal activities they can fund it themselves. Hit me dealer.
In other words, they only "study" this during Republican administrations.
