Hmmm ... not helping when their lands are confiscated for large corporate profits is it?  Just the other day it was announced the largest land grab occurring taking hundreds of acres out of tribal jurisdiction and giving it to the pipeline oil industry .... and that is not even in the disputed Dakota territory of Standing Rock ... current affairs show the thriving is limited ... can't drink oil, can't drink water when it is poisoned by spills .. no water no life .. no life no thriving!
