The sad truth is that in 2017, people who live in isolated rural communities have little hope of good jobs and a high standard of living. The path to prosperity for young people today - Native and non-Native - is getting an education and moving to where the jobs are. I honestly can't see how government policy can change what is a basic economic fact of the modern world.
