Evaluating the Impact of Federal Welfare Reform Legislation in Indian Country: A Policy for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
Field Report: Standing Rock Sioux

This report should serve as a policy guide to help clarify the complexities of the Personal Responsibility Act for tribal government officials, particularly those in Standing Rock. The guide seeks to: 1) describe and evaluate the Personal Responsibility Act and the provisions that impact Indian people, 2) describe and evaluate North and South Dakota’s proposed TANF plans, 3) present the pros and the cons of the options available to Standing Rock, and 4) recommend how the Standing Rock Tribal Government can respond under the different options.
