what is ironic about this is due to Indian gaming here in Ca most Indians live a LOT better than most Americans. They each get a house and like 100k to start out with. I know blacks that are living the American dream with much more than I might ever have, went to University like Columbia, own a home and are making 6 figure incomes....
Here the Native Alaskans get many benifits. Medical, housing, utility assistance and first in job oportunities. Plus much more.
