Peter, Many of the reservations have been in the process of just what that columnist wrote about, but the pace is a bit slow. It has taken over 100 years for the tribes to get used to the reservation style of living, and generations have grown up on the reservations. Even though the strict boundaries of the reservations were eased decades ago, it is still something that all of the members of a tribe must get used to before total destruction of the reservation life can be fully accepted.

A lot of them own their homes but it will take some time to solve the alcoholic problems that are still around. It was the white man that introduced fire water to the Indians, without knowing that they were more prone to become alcoholics than any other ethnic group except one. According to reports, the Irish have them beat in that department.
