The only time a Native American would have to pay taxes is if they conduct business outside of a reservation.
They are not prohibited from conducting business on a reservation.
They are not isolated or discriminated in this way.
They have the freedom to enjoy the benefits of being American citizens with the freedom to act as sovereign states.
While the virtue-signaling Left howls about the Washington Redskins' name, they're conspicuously silent about the struggles of American Indian communities. Maybe that's because the federal government is the root of the problem.
In
PragerU's latest video, author Naomi Schaefer Riley highlights some of the issues plaguing American Indians. "Did you know that Indians have the highest rate of poverty of any racial group in America?" Riley asks. "Did you know that alcoholism is more common among Indian youths than among youths in any other ethnic group? Did you know that the rate of child abuse among Indians is twice as high as the national average?"
When Riley dug deeper into the causes of these widespread struggles among Native Americans, she found that the federal government was the ultimate source. Riley explains
that the federal government is standing in the way of economic growth for American Indians by denying them property rights of their own land. The land of Indian reservations is held in "trust" by the federal government, which prevents American Indians from doing what they want to do with their land, including selling it, using it as collateral, or benefiting from many of its natural resources.
"The awful consequence of this land trust is that Indians can't sell their land, which means they can't use it the same way other Americans do – for example, as collateral to get a loan to start a business," Riley says. "What bank would lend to landowners who don't own their land?"
The other negative consequence to this policy is that the American Indians are unable to take advantage of the rich resources stashed on their land due to the absurd amount of regulations they have to hop through. For example, in one state, reservation residents must go through 49 steps in order to obtain approval from the federal government to extract coal from their land, with each step taking "months or years to be approved."
"There are so many government regulations that just to apply for a permit to dig a hole costs $6,500," Riley notes.
The result: nearly $1.5 trillion worth of oil, gas, coal and uranium reserves that Indian reservations are sitting on remain mostly untouched.
Until the federal government understands that letting the free market thrive in these communities is the answer, rather than simply sending billions of tax dollars, the American Indian community will continue to be plagued by widespread poverty.

They were seeking to survive things like starvation and make sure other basic needs were met.
"other basic needs" like: deceiving - stealing - raping - enslaving - killing.
We no longer have to do that in the same way in this country and this might contribute to the progressive elimination of divisions that were created in order to survive at one point in time.
right the "motivation" has changed from one direction to another as well as the means have become more sophisticated & improved but
the other basic needs have remained the same - real progress!
if this is your definition of "adequate reparations" then:
let me storm into your house r*pe you - let your husband watch - afterwards kill him brutally & make you watch - then get your kids & make them watch the way i kill you.
now giving each one of them a cookie & tell them to get over it & allow them to stay in the house with me as my servants.
adequate to the bones isn't it?
this is your type of sympathy.
I actually support creating an equivalent to the reparations that were promised to black people when slavery ended.
as we have seen those "reparations" you talk about are nothing but deceptions & hot air.
so now you wanna take it to the next people that suffered (and still do) by the hands of those you praise so much & keep protecting?
your despise knows no boundaries huh?
I think at least one generation should recieve a full scholarship to a university of their choice because giving out land is not practical anymore. It would alleviate poverty within the black community and create a lot of progress.
so the root problem of black people is lack of education?
the community suffers from any kind of drug abuse & racial stereotyping but the first thing that comes to your mind to solve their problems is "giving out full scholarships"?
do you really think that someone who has nothing to eat & doesn't know how to get by cares about free scholarship - like this is the first thing they would take instead of a meal?!
this is one more example of your way of thinking & addressing things must be one straight outta space!
