Government cutbacks in the 1980s and 1990s resulted in the halting of anti-violence, anti-drug, and anti-gang programs on Native American reservations. The result was that violence, drugs, and gangs increased considerably on Native American reservations. In addition, cutbacks also affected Native American welfare programs which were designed to give money to impoverished Native American families. Lastly, education suffered heavily as fewer Native Americans attained college degrees and dropout rates increased.
