​Native American reservations need basic infrastructure to be economically sustainable

Infrastructure is a hot issue being discussed now by city, county and even country leaders.

Tribal leaders are also concerned about infrastructure, but their focus is not just on obsolescence; it's on having the basic infrastructure in the first place.
