NBC’s Chiara Sottile has the story of how a new program is trying to make amends and make the dream of higher education possible for Native students.

It’s about time the government hasn’t been helping them for years .
They didn't even have to cry or burn there community to make this happen
It should still be free for everyone and we should fight for that
The NativeX, along with the LatinX, and LGBTQIA+ communities approve of this program. We need more strong women of color like Elizabeth Warren (NativeX member) to lead our nations NativeX women into college.
What about high-scheming students of ALL nationalities who do not have the funds to attend a prestigious university?
Yes !!!
Aw
Federally recognized ain't that a B.tch
So a selected few people get to pick and choose who is recognized and who isn't that's just crazy
Well this is good news. It's not a celebration. Europeans both minorities and majorities have had access to this through the taxes that everyone is paid over the years.
Do you really think that after graduating if they graduate they will go back to their native land where they came from? Of course not !!! What will you do with a degree there, what will you do? Nothing is the answer!!
Just another welfare program for freeloaders
Gavin Newson you want to give reparations to the ancestors of the black American Suzanne was taken well you know what you can do for the native who wants to go to college supply them with a debit card so they can have the supplies the means to survive during the college time there so they don’t have to worry about food clothes books any kind of fees that’s what you can do but I don’t think you will
There you go say the word stolen it’s time to seventh generation is here they will lead the way to the future for the native indigenous for the red nation the first nation of this country is land
It’s so beautiful to see a native that is going to achieve her dreams and still be native I know her people very strong she will go far
So how do they determine who is Native American. Can anybody just identify as Native American like Elizabeth Warren and get a tuition waiver?
let me get this straight , the people who get literally hundreds of thousands of dollars for free from the casinos also get free college, awesome . i dated a Mohegan girl and from 18 to 25 she literally got 100k for free every year from the tribe, she was crazy and spent it all on drugs , what a moron
Every financial goals requires patience, reduction and consistent spirit Knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world. both NFT, real estate and crypto shares are really positively changing people's lives.
Despite the strides made in terms of cultural acceptance and inclusivity, there remain individuals who hold onto antiquated notions of national identity. While the United States of America has evolved and changed in many ways since its earliest days, anyone born in the country has the right to identify as a native American. So does this mean I get the free program as well?
I’m glad they get this. Imagine if they did this for blacks all you would hear is people in the comments and Fox News complaining. Facts.
Let's Go Student Loan forgiveness! Yes, Republicans, just giving someone a college education, no strings attached, is – wit for it – GOOD for the long term health of America! Of course, with the news cycle of the last SIX YEARS it's pretty obvious you people are sick to death of America, if you have to share it with ugh PEOPLE
Send the Parents back to Mexico & Bring in the Little Kids! Ever since Jeffrey Epstein Island got busted, theres a shortage on Little Kids for WHITE men here in America! 🏳️🌈🇺🇸
More needs to. S done
I’m so glad these people are getting what is due to them. we did armtesl their land
