Yup. Similar stories are when natives try to start businesses, apparently there is a lot more paperwork to do than a regular citizen because the government wants to make sure they are not 'wasting' the benefits they get. So in turn, it's easy to get discouraged, and then the money does end up getting wasted on something else.
I'm not exactly sure if it's for reserve run businesses or business ownership in general, but it's a story I've heard a few times, and seems to fit in with what you're relating.
