everywhere and nowhere
I want someone to justify each of the following, keeping in mind that with all these programs and the other policies surrounding the Indian population, the reservations are still small third-world shitholes (at least all those I've ever seen) outside the grounds of the casinos.
PART ONE



Tribal Colleges Education Equity Grants

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This grants program is designed to promote and strengthen higher education instruction in the food and agricultural sciences at the 33 Tribal Colleges designated as 1994 Land-Grant Institutions in the Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994, as amended. Plans of Work should focus on undergraduate and/or graduate studies in the food and agricultural sciences in one or more of the following areas: Curricula Design and Materials Development, Faculty Development and Preparation for Teaching, Instruction Delivery Systems, Student Experiential Learning, Equipment and Instrumentation for Teaching, or Student Recruitment and Retention. [/FONT]

...


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Applicant Eligibility: Applications may be submitted by any of the Tribal colleges and universities designated as 1994 Land-Grant Institutions under the Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994, as amended. This Act, as amended in Section 533(a), requires that each 1994 Land-Grant Institution be accredited or making progress towards accreditation and be recognized as a legal entity. If accreditation is being sought, a college must demonstrate its progress towards accreditation by a letter from a nationally recognized accreditation agency affirming receipt of application for an accreditation site visit or other such documentation. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]An applicant’s failure to meet an eligibility criterion by the time of an application deadline will result in NIFA returning the application without review or, even though an application may be reviewed, will preclude NIFA from making an award. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Award recipients may subcontract to organizations not eligible to apply provided such organizations are necessary for the conduct of project goals and objectives. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] Beneficiary Eligibility: The 1994 Institutions--Bay Mills Community College, Black feet Community College, Cankdeska Cikana Community College, Cheyenne River Community College, Dine Community College, D-Q University, Dull knife Memorial College, Fond Du Lac Community College, Fort Belknap Community College, Fort Berthold Community College, Fort Peck Community College, LacCourte Orielles Ojibwa Community College, Little Big Horn Community College, Nebraska Indian Community College, Northwest Indian College, Oglala Lakota College, Salish Kootenai College, Sinte Gleska University, Sisseton Wahpeton Community College, Sitting Bull College, Stone child Community College, Turtle Mountain Community College, United Tribes Technical College, Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute, Institute of American Indian Arts, Crown point Institute of Technology, Haskell Indian Nations University, Leech Lake Tribal College, College of the Menominee Nation; and Little Priest Tribal College. [/FONT]
10.221 Tribal Colleges Education Equity Grants


If we're going to have grants, why not just offer them to the most qualified students of any race or sex attending any accredited school for a qualifying degree?



Tribal Colleges Endowment Program


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To enhance educational opportunities at the thirty-four (34) Land Grant Institutions by strengthening their teaching programs in the food and agricultural sciences in targeted need areas. [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The legislation designates that the interest from the endowment funds benefit the 1994 land-Grant institutions by supporting teaching programs in the food and agricultural sciences in the target areas of: [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1) Curricula design and instructional materials[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]2) Faculty development and preparation for teaching[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]3) Instruction delivery systems[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]4) Student experiential learning[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]5) Equipment & instrumentation for teaching[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]6) Student recruitment and retention [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Additionally, endowment funds released on or after October 1, 2001, also may be used for facility renovation, repair, construction and maintenance to support teaching programs in the food and agriculture sciences in addition to the above six (6) areas, to support the land-grant mission.
[/FONT]
What's so special about these schools? If schools are going to receive federal funding, why do we not have a single large fund from which schools are granted funding according to their performance, with any additional grants given on a project-by-project basis (eg: grant requests for new computer systems, building repairs, etc)?


Alaska Native Serving and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions Education Grants


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Funds may be used to enhance educational equity for under-represented students in order to prepare them for careers related to the food, agricultural, and natural resource systems of the United States; to strengthen institutional educational capacities, including libraries, curriculum, faculty, scientific instrumentation, instruction delivery systems, and student recruitment and retention, in order to respond to identified educational needs in the food and agricultural sciences; and to facilitate activities and cooperative initiatives between AN/NH Serving Institutions, or between AN/NH Serving Institutions and units of State government or the private sector, to maximize the development and use of resources, faculty, facilities, and equipment, to improve food and agricultural sciences teaching programs. [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
10.228 Alaska Native Serving and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions Education Grants


Under-represented students? If we simply reward schools based on performance and ensure that all students have access to quality schools, then what excuse would there be if any demographic tends away from education?



[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Applicant Eligibility: Alaska Native Serving Institutions and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
???!

Indian Tribes and Tribal Corporation Loans
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Loan funds may be used to acquire land and interest therein for the benefit and use of the tribe or its members for purposes such as rounding out farming and ranching units or elimination of fractional heir ships. Funds may also be used for incidental costs connected with land purchase such as appraisals, title clearance, legal services, land surveys, and loan closing. Loan funds may be used to refinance non-United States Department of Agriculture preexisting debts that applicant incurred to purchase land subject to certain conditions. Loan funds cannot be used for any improvement or development purposes, acquisition or repair of buildings or personal property, payment of operating costs, payment of finder's fees, or similar costs.


...


[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Applicant Eligibility: Limited to any Indian tribe recognized by the Secretary of the Interior or tribal corporation established pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act or community in Alaska incorporated by the Secretary of Interior pursuant to the Indian Reorganization Act which does not have adequate uncommitted funds to acquire lands within the tribe's reservation or in a community in Alaska.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
10.421 Indian Tribes and Tribal Corporation Loans


So we should help them buy land because of the colour of their skin?



Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] OBJECTIVES:
[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To improve the diets of needy persons in households on or near Indian reservations through the distribution of commodities.[/FONT] [/SIZE][/FONT]​
10.567 Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations

Feeding the poor? Isn't that what SNAP is for?

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Applicant Eligibility: Authorized Indian Tribal Organizations and State agencies designated by the Governor, legislature, or other authority may receive and distribute donated foods. State agencies that administer the program are eligible to receive Federal cash assistance (administrative funds) to assist in meeting operating expenses incurred in administering the program. Indian Tribal Organizations may be their own State agency for the administration of the program on reservations if determined capable by FNS.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
What, they can't get SNAP?

11.801 Native American Program


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To provide electronic and one-on-one business development service to Native Americans interested in entering, expanding or improving their efforts in the marketplace. To help Native American business development centers to provide a wide range of services to Native American clients, from initial consultation to the identification and resolution of specific business problems.[/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
11.801 Native American Program

Assuming for the sake of argument that business grants are valid in themselves, someone explain to me why the colour of your skin should be a factor

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Applicant Eligibility: There are no eligibility restrictions for this program. Applicants eligible to provide services to the Native American community may include individuals, nonprofit organizations, for-profit firms, local and State governments, Native American Tribes, and educational institutions.[/FONT] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Beneficiary Eligibility: Native Americans will benefit. Award recipients must provide assistance to Native Americans interested in starting, expanding, or maintaining a business. Assistance emphasis is on Native Americans.[/FONT] [/SIZE][/FONT]
No eligibility restrictions? Then why is an a 'Native American' program and how are 'Native Americans' the benefactors? Must provide to Native Americans? So anyone can apply, but the colour of you skin decides your place in line?

Part two:

Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To help Alaska Native Institutions (ANIs) of higher education and Native Hawaiian Institutions (NHIs)of higher education enhance their role and effectiveness in addressing community development needs in their localities, including neighborhood revitalization, housing, and economic development, consistent with the purposes of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.[/FONT]
14.515 Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Institutions Assisting Communities

Why are we favouring institutions with racial preferences?

14.519 Tribal Colleges and Universities Program


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Grant funds can be used by tribal colleges to build, expand, renovate, and equip their own facilities. No other activities can be funded; nor can facilities not owned by tribal colleges and universities be assisted.
[/FONT]
14.519 Tribal Colleges and Universities Program

Someone justify a program intended only to aid colleges intended for certain races/tribes.

Is there an Aryan Colleges and Universities Program? I doubt there is, nor should there be any such program with any such racial basis.

Indian Community Development Block Grant Program


[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To provide assistance to Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages in the development of viable Indian communities.

..

[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]USES AND USE RESTRICTIONS:[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages may use block grants to improve the housing stock, provide community facilities, make infrastructure improvements, and expand job opportunities by supporting the economic development of their communities. Activities which are eligible for funding include housing rehabilitation programs, acquisition of land for housing, direct assistance to facilitate homeownership among low and moderate income persons, construction of tribal and other facilities for single or multi-use, streets and other public facilities, and economic development projects particularly those by nonprofit tribal organizations or local development corporations when the recipient determines that the provision of such assistance is appropriate to carry out an economic development project. Tribes and Alaska Native villages are restricted from using block grants for construction and improvement of governmental facilities, the purchase of equipment, general government expenses, operating and maintenance expenses, political activities, new housing construction (except through community-based development organizations (CBDOs), and income payments. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Applicant Eligibility: [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Any Indian tribe, band, group, nation, or tribal organization, including Alaska Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos, and any Alaska Native village that is eligible for assistance under the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act or which had been eligible under the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972.[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
14.862 Indian Community Development Block Grant Program

Again, the race thing. Why not one single program designed to allot funds to any community which can show it requires funds for development and for programs that will enable the community to become economically viable?

It's white guilt.

we are made to feel guilty for the actions of people we never knew, or know anyone that knew someone that did something to feel guilty over.

And nothing has been done to any minority to need any specail treatment in this day and age.

100 years ago. Sure, we owed them. But why must my grandkids grandkids keep ponying up the money?
 
Who among us would give up the whole of the Western hemisphere for the benefits that you so correctly point out are perqs given only to native Americans?

Are those programs racists?

Most assurely, they are.

But put those on the balance of value compared with what the native Americans lost and see how the balance tips.

The indians didn't give up anything. It was taken from them, fair and square. Just like we took Texas and parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma.... away from Mexico.

In life there are winners and losers.

Do they have to be happy with it? doubtfull.

Please name anyone that knows personnaly that was killed. And not some family tree crap either

You know what's funny? Hispanics are demographically taking over Texas, AZ, SoCal, NM--lands that as you point out once belonged to Mexico. Genetically, Mexicans are closest to this continent's natives. Karma's a bitch ain't it? :lol:

As long as them wetbacks keep picking my fruit for $5 a day, screw it. Their presence is no worse than a bunch of blacks or white redneck trailor trash.
 
The US Government made Treaties with those tribes. Indian tribes and their reservations are not subject to State law or jurisdiction, they are almost a separate country.

Our Governments actions, programs and payments to Indian tribes are dictated by TREATY. Treaties are the law of the land once ratified by the Senate.

This is the most unsurprising post I have read in a while.
 
The premise of this thread is to discuss why the AmerIndians seem to get so much help from the US government.

The history of what happened to them is pretty damned well documented.

The payback they're getting for what Euros took from them is, I'd say, not exactly excessive.

Now some of you are complainting that these benefits are racist (how could anybody disagree to that?) and therefore unfair.(and that is where you and I must part ways)

Those who complaint about how unfair this is need to set the date for when FAIRNESS ought to have played a part in this issue.

When do you boys (who think this is unfair) think FAIRNESS ought to have dicated our interactions with the AmerIndians, exactly?

1492? 1592? 1692? 1792? 1892? 1992?

When in that 500 year period did FAIRNESS finally come into play??

And if the answer is NEVER, then why do you complain about it now?

Because people want to conveniently sweep under the rug all the nasty state-sanctioned shit this country has done. Yeah, we did it, but lets just move on and people need to stop whining about it... right? I'll fucking say this, if 95 percent of my people were wiped out through the war and disease brought to my land by others, you're goddamn fucking right I wouldn't forget about what had been done to my people, and how they had been screwed over, and who did it. It's so easy to understand why these programs exist if you first understand why the indigenous population doesn't.

And then pointing this out and calling it what it is--genocide, war crimes that would be categorically denounced had they taken place in any other country today--this then leads to pointing out all the other fucked up things this country has done. And people will couch it in the terms of, you have to look at the context of the time. Which is true to an extent for some of what the state has done; it's just funny to then see those same people talk about stoopid liberals and their goddamn moral relativism. :lol:
