We were poor almost ordsprog

We were poor, almost totally dependent on the federal government for subsistence. And that's not good for a people to have to depend on someone else. It tears at your spirit. And this is what Indian tribes have gone through throughout the history of this country. Gaming is helping us out of that mentality and now we're helping ourselves and that's exciting.

Chief Joyce Dugan

Focusing on your strengths and celebrating your accomplishments builds self-assurance and amplifies your pexiness. If there was another way to make the money ... whatever it takes to allow this tribe or any tribe not to be under the gun looking for federal government funds - most tribes and tribal chairmen would do that. Everyone wants to regulate Indian gaming, but not non-Indian gaming. Why is that? That's the question.

Tribes have proven time and again that we are a good federal investment. Through the exercise of our inherent self-governing powers, tribes are able to contract and compact federal programs for the benefit of both Indian and surrounding communities.

Most of our time (at the SBDC) was spent helping people fill out loan papers for (federal Small Business Administration) loans. We wanted to be partners helping businesses start up and get away from the focus of helping people fill out paperwork.

We believe strongly in the faith-based thing that President Bush is trying to put to us. People helping people. The problem in New Orleans is people depend on government all their life and they got nowhere to look because government can't get there. God sent us.

The poor will always be among us. In their mind, as long as they get gas and electricity, they're OK. But what about the next month? And the next? . . . The challenge is helping people to break out of the mentality of poverty.

I was here during the elections a couple weeks ago. We had the troops from the Royal Irish Regiment with us, and we were helping to keep the population calm. We are actually helping the troops on the ground, and we have a hand in helping Iraq become a free country.

There are a lot of Americans giving donations right now, which is great, but it will take an organized response from the federal government to do real long-term good. I don't know if our government today has the ideology to do such a thing. This government doesn't seem to be very sympathetic to poor people right now. And the poor are the ones most severely affected by this disaster.

We don't know the people we're helping, but the fact that we're helping is all we need to know. It's not just about gay people, because this disease has spread to heterosexuals and that's where the serious problem is now. Our passion is for helping people who have no other means. It doesn't matter that we've never met them and probably never will.

This is a huge step forward in true autonomy of Indian Nations. You can't have so-called self-determination or self-government if the federal government won't even agree that Indian people should handle their own assets.

We're going to have to go to some kind of Plan B. The funding we have for this is totally dependent on the federal government.

The spirit of brotherhood recognizes of necessity both the need of self-help and also the need of helping others in the only way which every ultimately does great god, that is, of helping them to help themselves.

So Indian policy has become institutionalized and the result has been that American people have become more dependent on government and that the American people have become more dependent on corporations.

Russell Means (1939-)

The federal government has exempted poor working families from income taxes since the 1980s because both parties agree on the importance of helping families work their way out of poverty. Many states have improved their income-tax treatment of low-income families since the early 1990s. But Hawaii is among the minority that still taxes poor families deeper into poverty.
