The native Americans were always the ones who have indeed had hardships and financial struggles. To strive and to fight over the poverty and hardships that these communities are always enduring it is essential that they know about their rights and financial assistance that is provided for them. Because most of the time the community does not know the assistance programs that are provided to them.
Native Americans have achieved higher education and made some difference in this sector. But they are still deprived of basic financial opportunities. There were some gaps that traditional welfare programs have left. The special programs will fill those gaps for the native Americans.
Although these programs are available in every state. They were still insufficient to meet the needs and requirements of native Americans and their communities. That’s why the situation led to poor results.
Apparently the federal funding is not enough for the native American programs. The federal government was meant to provide funding as well as programs which were gonna help the Native American and their communities but it was insufficient and that’s why it led to inadequate and poor supply of education as well as most basic needs among these communities.
The word tribe holds contrasting thoughts but the US government always use this word to describe the eligibility criteria of Native American communities in certain payment programs.
In the US, the government is running tribal programs which are used to assist the needy people of the tribe. According to the TANF program the American families and their children get assistance through cash. Which helps them to get proper education and fulfil their basic needs.
However, there are some tribal governments who are also running these programs. The eligibility criteria and the qualification about the structure and working of the programs completely differ in each state. There are programs like Navajo. Nation division all social services which provides food, water and clothes as well as school clothing to the native Americans.
Another program which is also known as 477 program. Basically, this program was named after the government law that was used to make this program. These programs are receiving lots of dollars. The main aspect and goal of these programs are to provide the native Americans with education as well as employment opportunities. So they do not stay unemployed and poor. Which means if they stay poor then they will be deprived of basic needs.
General assistance is needed for these types of people in these types of programs. Because by helping them we are making them employed. And the social gap which has come between these tribal people and the normal Americans will be gone. We all know that this will take time, but with clear goals and opportunities this time will pass too.
