:Do you think Native Americans should still be getting paid today for our poor treatment of them? Why or why not?

I do think that the Native Americans should still be getting paid today for our poor treatment of them because the Native Americans face clear economic challenges. Their employment rates are far below those of whites, both in the country overall and at the state level—and Native Americans have lower odds of employment than whites even after accounting for various demographic factors. At the same time, however, the path forward is also clear. Through empowering Native American communities, providing them with the necessary financial resources, improving Native American education outcomes, and conducting additional research on Native Americans’ economic circumstances, we can begin to surmount these challenges. In short, the challenge is great—but so is the promise. We can point to a growing number of tribes where not only are the majority of members working, but where the tribe also contributes positively to the local economy.
