Let me tell you that growing up off the rez I have a pretty good idea of why indigenous kids growing up on the rez aren’t building wealth and it has largely to do with two things:
1) intergenerational trauma needs to be called what it is which is neglect and child abuse.
2) PC victimhood culture and the politicians who take advantage of it to convince people they just need more handouts instead of to stop abusing their children and take responsibility for their lives.
There is real discrimination in society things like Japanese internment but you don’t see any issue with Japanese people lifting themselves out of poverty.
