Shiftmonkey: I think part of the solution is going to involve working with the native tribes, but I'm not sure how. I agree they could use some skills from the outside.

FWIW, I've visited a few tribes in California and Arizona. From what I can tell, many of these tribes don't want any contact with us. It's hard to imagine what they've gone through -- first from having their land stolen and being relocated, then having their children kidnapped and educated by the Christian's in the white man's ways, and then to the controls placed on them by the Federal Government.

I wonder how many Native Americans would be interested in participating in this movement.
