rdf:langString "OHA wants to retain wardship – have the state provide it with the revenue, but they are not willing to work with their own people to provide critical needs like housing and poverty alleviation. We have to stop making the goal of self-governance be the opportunity to suck at the state and federal teat. It is not that. It is economic self-sufficiency and that's where we should be going and we're not."
