There are tribes, i should say nations, which prior to the aim movement had only ten or fifteen employees, and now have upwards of 2000. there are educational programs that didn't exist before, there are housing programs, health programs, senior citizen programs, cultural programs and the list goes on. it's all because some people stood up and said sovereignty is our right by treaty and the constitution says treaty law is the supreme law of the land.
