The Mohegans did the same thing. Education is the answer to most of the problems facing the various tribes, but economic diversity and tribal sovereignty are ultimately tied together. Within the next few generations, tribes will need to become self sufficient in order to maintain their national status. In order to obtain, maintain, and improve upon these resources, tribes will need educated children, strong lobbies in Washington, and a united front. Currently it is the modus operandi of the United States government to keep tribes at verbal and economic war with each other.
