I don't see the government going to low income communities an offering to pay their university tuition, or giving them any other special treatment.

I agree 100%. That's what I'm getting at, that despite being given a lot of advantages and chances to better their lives a seeming majority of the native community do not take advantage of this. And when you see claims such as this one, it makes me think that the problem is the leadership who are more interested in getting more handouts than making sure the ones that exist are being properly used. It reall is a shame.
