How well do you think Native American organizations, like the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), and the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA), are helping Native Americans to advance? Explain your answer. If anything, what are organizations like these doing to mitigate tribal poverty, and encourage prosperity?

The key word in this question is YOU. "How well do YOU think . . .?" We'll be glad to critique your answer if you post it here.

This site has links to dozens of Native American organizations. Read these sites, think about what you've learned about the needs of Native Americans, and make your own judgements.
