If we are considering equality. A native american man is way more disprivileged then a caucasian univerity educated woman. I mean name one VC backed start up with a Native American CEO?
I am Metis (Native American) and frankly the low employment on reserves could be mitigated by remote work. Having more coders and startup from reserves/communities could be an amazing way to help many of the cripling social issues.
We could have a Native American Steve Jobs... and then have him played in a film by Johnny Depp :)
TL:DR > It is not really fair to almost exclusively focus on the most privilidged dispriviledge class.
PS > Also those are some big numbers for ROI with no sourcing. Sceptical me is skeptic.
