Answer:
Yes, public funds should be used to provide programs for native Americans, Alaska natives, and native Hawaiians.
Explanation:
During nineteenth century as white people moved west, Indian tribes were forced to move from their homelands. Even after many treaties promising them right to live in their own lands have been signed, whites have not given them their rights violating government orders.
Due to their movement, their culture got destroyed during nineteenth century. Then a movement started to protect their rights.
Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians have also suffered a lot just as Native Americans, which includes loss of land.
Despite many improvements that have been made over the years, American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians still lack behind U.S. citizens in many important areas. They continue to suffer extensive poverty and high unemployment.
