Native Americans get $200K at 18 after graduating high school

[wheywhey]

Members of the Ho-Chunk Nation in Wisconsin get $200,000 at age 18. In 2001 it was stipulated that they had to graduate high school and graduation rates shot up. The money is from casino profits that have accumulated since birth.

You have to be at least 25% Ho-Chunk. There is a brother in the video who got paid.

I cant get mad that is a very great incentive to graduate...

Although i heard not many other tribes get the same treatment... so......

Time for me to get a one of those DNA tests and hope I'll be able to cash in on some benefits

 

[Lost His Smile]

Yeah, I live near two casinos and the members of those tribes get some benefits.

Ho-Chunk children get a share of casino profits once they've graduated and turned 18. It's called their 18 Money. When they finish high school, they get given $200,000 (£130,000). Journalist and film-maker Jenny Kleeman meets the Ho-Chunk kids of Black River Falls high school and their families as they graduate, along with tribal representatives and residents of Black River Falls, Wisconsin, to understand 18 Money and its impact.

They are going to spend their money on bullshyt like Masserati. The tribal nation should make the kids take a semester of money management and invest part of it in a tribal bank before getting their cash. Also should be a bigger incentive for them to get a post secondary degree with the stipulation that they have to work for the nation. I think if the right black people got together and did a structure like this the next generation of deserving children would benefit.

That chick at 3:00 irks me. The entitlement. She should be jealous as they have been that we get a free education on stolen land for generations.

It varies from tribe to tribe, but yeah, once Native Americans turn a certain age its usually 18 or graduate highschool, they get a decent little lump sum of cash. The sad thing is, its not really helping them much. If you've ever been to or driven past a reservation you'd see that they're all basically trailerpark ghettos.

On one hand I think they deserve it because they've been shat on by our government for years. But on the other hand, just "throwing money" at their problem has created multiple generations of (and pardon my French) a not giving a shyt attitude. They literally don't do anything but get drunk and pop out babies, but I think anyone would act like that if they knew they'd be given free money once they reach a certain age. The only ones that get in trouble with the law only do so because they get too drunk, stumble into "civilization" and get arrested for public intoxication.

But despite all of that, they still deserve that money. We black people may complain that white people took us from our land, but White people literally took-over their entire land and built concrete jungles and strip malls all over it.

Good for them, but hopefully more of them begin to direct the money in constructive, nation-building directions instead of nonsense.

According to scientific journals AND articles such as the follows white men were here first:

New evidence suggests Stone Age hunters from Europe discovered America

Asians came about 2,000,4,000 years later. They mixed and the American enviroment shaped the rest, the product "NATIVE AMERICANS." Which is why all Native Americans look Asian or white.

 

[JahFocus CS]

Spewing nonsense about non-Natives "discovering" the Americas prior to Native habitation only serves as an effort to ideologically, legally, and morally undercut the eternal right that Natives have to this land. It is a pathetic attempt by settler colonialism to justify itself and it should be opposed at every turn.

We can have an archaeological discussion about evidence, but this is not the thread for that. And that archaeological discussion should never turn into "Natives aren't really native."
