If I were lizzie warren I'd be getting worried.

Just a guess, but an educated one, that this is a human trafficking issue and Barr is going to uncover a big can of worms here - of tremendous abuse of trafficked Native American women and children never reported or investigated. Praying for all of the victims!

Patriot, I suspect you are correct with this.

Sounds good at face value but, being sovereign, I'd be wary of government help. There will always be a catch and coming from Barr I just can't buy it as being completely benevolent without strings attached.

It is not benevolent. The feds claim all authority over the reservations, so "murder, sexual violence and domestic abuse", things properly dealt with by county and state law enforcement, go virtually uninvestigated under the control of the feds.
At best, this is a transfer of 1.5 million to create titles and paid positions to be handed out by those in power, so jobs. At worst, which it is probably closer to the case, it's 1.5M towards figuring out how best to implement reservation policy and practices to the rest of the country.

Like I said....don't trust them. Goobernut=bad shit...mkay.... I hope Barr is discarded as soon as he's no longer useful. I definitely don't trust him.
