Hun, I'm a full blooded Native and even I don't get "state aid", thats a myth, if your Native then you know that.

To find out if you qualify for public aid, take your pay stubs and utility bills down to the assistance office and let them decide. How would we know what your income is and if you would be eligible for assistance? Are you trying to imply that Native Americans get some sort of benefit from the state? If that's your thinking, you are so very, very wrong.

welfare isn't handed out based upon race. It's handed out based upon your financial situation. If you're poverty-stricken and struggling with a legitimate reason, such as a physicaly disability, you'll get it. It's not just based upon whether or not you're a minority. Yes American minorities were racially discriminated against and more likely to grow up in poverty but the majority (whites) don't give a crap about that so it's not based on that
