Cherokee Nations HUD housing funds have been frozen. HUD is the Department of Housing and Urban Development. They provide low income Native Americans with safe, affordable, and decent living spaces. The funds have been frozen because a funding law is being review in a court decision that left 2800 Cherokee citizens without citizenship. The citizenships that we eliminated were the ones of people whose ancestors were slaves of the Cherkokee who were granted all rights of the Cherokee nation through a treaty made in 1866.
In comparison to underprivileged Americans, are underprivileged Native Americans or Native American citizens granted more opportunities?

This is a concern for the American Indians because they feel that racism for them is accepted. Do you believe the Washington redskins name and logo are offensive? And do you believe that publishers should refrain from using the term "redskins"?
