标题：Creating Economic Development on Indian Reservations
其他标题：The lack of economic development on reservations is a major factor in creating the extreme poverty, unemployment, and the accompanying social issues that Indian nations face.
摘要：Few of the Indian reservations in the United States have functioning economies in which residents can be employed, cash checks, and spend money within the community. This situation means reservation residents have to travel to distant cities to find banks and businesses where they can engage in commerce. A Navajo tribal official estimated that $0.80 of every dollar Navajos received immediately left the reservation, and other studies demonstrate the same problem for other reservations. This outflow benefits state economies but impoverishes reservations.
