While the need for library services on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona is great, financial support is at the legal minimum, which is inadequate. A reason for this is that Indians on reservations pay no state income tax, and are therefore not entitled to state support, but must rely on federal funding. A model for a possible solution to this problem may be found in a program in Saskatchewan, Canada, where the province's Indian-Eskimo Association proved Indian use and need of libraries to the...

The average unemployment level on Wisconsin Indian reservations is 39%. Across Wisconsin Indian communities, unemployment ranges from 20% to nearly 70%. A study of Indian unemployment in Wisconsin indicates that the employment level in Indian communities both on and off the reservation is affected by such conditions as the out-migration of Indians in the prime working ages of 25 to 45, the lack of accessability of local economic activity to Native Americans, and the match between the skill...

In the past, courts have described American Indian sovereignty in ways that suggest the existence of power in the Navajo Tribe to tax the activities and property of non-Indians on their reservation. These judicial statements were made, however, at a time when tribal governments were viewed as transitional mechanisms for Indian assimilation, and contact between Indians and non-Indians on the reservation was minimal. Current efforts by non-Indians to develop energy resources on the Navajo...
