Native Americans receive payments from the government as part of treaties and agreements made between their tribes and the United States government. These payments are often related to land rights, resource extraction on tribal lands, and other historical agreements. The U.S. government has a trust responsibility to ensure that Native American tribes receive the benefits and resources agreed upon in these treaties. Additionally, some payments may also be related to programs and services provided to Native American communities, such as healthcare and education. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Native-Americans-get-payments-from-the-government
