TRIBAL COUNCILS
You’ll see it
in the headlines: “Navajo
Tribe receives four hundred
million dollars,” and then
the chairman says, "Your education
is my goal. I'm going to pay
your way through college.
There is a scholarship
waiting for you. There will be new
irrigation farming waiting for you.
There will be companies
employing a lot of people, and all this
will be taken care of
with this revenue."
But ever since I can remember,
I haven't seen any of it.
How many millions of dollars
have they gone through?
I don't know. The revenue is stashed
somewhere
nobody
talks about.
