“We need the money right now,” Aaron Payment, the chairperson of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, said on an Indianz.Com broadcast on Wednesday evening.
“We are 100 percent relying on these dollars,” said Payment, who also serves as vice president of the National Congress of American Indians.
“Don’t forget,” Payment noted. “We pre-paid for everything. We are the only population in the country that has a federal right to health care, education and social welfare.”
