Free education, including designated tertiary (college) positions? Financial assistance for cars, housing, education (non tertiary)? Welfare payments for being native American?
The ones that have survived are now having their culture swallowed by the casino and cigarette businesses. The smallpox got a bunch, alcohol a bunch more, the reservation system has done its share. They won't last much longer.
They do get all sorts of benefits by way of being partially indian provided by a certain date back there they were registered.
That's not to say many of them make it out into the real and make a living though
