How well do you think Native American organizations like the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Congree of American Indians and the National Indian Gaming Association are helping Native Americans to advance? Explain Answer. If anything, what are oranizations like these doing to mitigate tribal poverty, and encourage prosperity?

Please re-post with your response to this question. Then someone here will critique your work.

Thanks.

Again, since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "'National Congress of American Indians'" to get these possible sources:

You can do similar searches for the other two organizations. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

Since you post this as a "discussion" question, why not poll some actually involved in these government bureaus and also some Native Americans? This is obviously a question posed to YOU so do the research before you formulate your opinion. Be sure you can substantiate your opinion with both fact and supposition. We are here to help you, and I see you now have some sites to visit, but not to do the work for you!
