Mixed Economy
Bureau of Indian Affairs (B.I.A) How does tribal life work in the USA? How are Native Americans living via the reservation system? How does the economy work on the reservation?
Most homes via the reservation system are overcrowded. There aren't many jobs for them to work at and they depend on social security. disability or veterans income. Almost half of the adults on the reservation don't have jobs an most of the ones that do get below poverty wages.
Less than 50% of Indian housing isn't connected to public sewage.
90,000 American Indians are homeless.
Few of the Indian reservations in the United States have functioning economies in which residents can be employed, cash checks, and spend money within the community.
