I don't fukk with that part of the country so I honestly can't say what individuals face there. But statistically the average Native American is worse off than any other group. And the worst-off Native Americans are worse off than anyone. The very fact that you talked about no running water/electricity like it was some big trump card implies you don't know shyt about the sorts of places some reservations are.
Sadly this.
But it's stupid to focus on it because the VAST majority of the slave-owning was done by White people. They really know how to exploit that crab mentality though.
Natives were some of the largest enslavers (The 5 Tribes) as well. Also were the last to release their enslaved. The Government had to make them.

Most Native Americans live in cities, not reservations. Here are their stories
My point is blacks are told groups can’t be singled out... and appropriated funds/redress. We are told we have to settle for ‘uplift everyone’ policies that will benefit blacks as well.
This obviously is just white supremacist garbage to curb African American redress.

We have allowed and thought our organizations and leaders have been working for us. Plus, not calling them to task. That has ended though -- changes will happening.

Stop playing. You know it is. It's about being specific -- meaning only ADOS and our communities.

Let me break it down for ya'all.
You bytching about a national program of $250 million, most of which isn't actually even going to the Natives themselves but is going to law enforcement.
Meanwhile, there are SINGLE INDIVIDUALS in America who dodge that much in taxes every year.
The freaking Foxconn factory in Wisconsin got a $4.5 BILLION tax break. That's almost 20 times larger than the amount in the OP, and that's for ONE FACTORY.
But ya'all bytching about the nickles the Natives get instead of complaining about the people who are shytting on everyone.

This is what ADOS communities need -- it can go off of median HHI and other stats.
We would have to work with the Justice Department as a organization -- but it would have to be accompanied with a specific Act.
Such as: Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA). 25 U.S.C. § 3665a(2010).
Tribal Law and Order Act
The Department of Justice launched its Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) in Fiscal Year 2010 in direct response to concerns raised by tribal leaders about the Department’s grant process that did not provide the flexibility tribes needed to address their criminal justice and public safety needs. In Fiscal Year 2018 the department awarded more than $113 million to 133 American Indian tribes, Alaska Native villages, tribal consortia and tribal designees. The grants will provide funds to enhance law enforcement practices and sustain crime prevention and intervention efforts across nine purpose areas including public safety and community policing; justice systems planning; alcohol and substance abuse; corrections and correctional alternatives; violence against women; juvenile justice; and tribal youth programs. Additionally, FY18 funding included up to $133 million to be used to serve tribal victims of crime.
The organization is: Office of Tribal Justice and Tribal Justice and Safety

President Obama signed the Tribal Law and Order Act into law on July 29, 2010. The Tribal Law and Order Act helps to address crime in tribal communities and places a strong emphasis on decreasing violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. The Act encourages the hiring of more law enforcement officers for Indian lands and provides additional tools to address critical public safety needs. Specifically, the law enhances tribes' authority to prosecute and punish criminals; expands efforts to recruit, train and keep Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Tribal police officers; and provides BIA and Tribal police officers with greater access to criminal information sharing databases. It authorizes new guidelines for handling sexual assault and domestic violence crimes, from training for law enforcement and court officers, to boosting conviction rates through better evidence collection, to providing better and more comprehensive services to victims. It also encourages development of more effective prevention programs to combat alcohol and drug abuse among at-risk youth.

It's a dumb argument -- no one is bytching -- we are calling out that specific programs can be set up for our communities.
But, I see people like to always shift their argument to imply that we are. No, we are calling attention to something. We are also going after what we need with the ADOS movement and other activism -- but with even that -- you and others want to talk about us.
Make up your mind -- cause it seems like you look for anything to go at AA/ADOS about. Is that true? Help me understand

I'm not hating on them. It's not like they don't deserve it.
BUT
If they can get what they are getting, then I don't want to hear shyt about why we can't get reparations.
