Strategies

Return the rights to land, property, and resources to Native people as part of policies and initiatives that promote tribal sovereignty

Support programs that provide small loans, usually to individuals with lower incomes, to start or expand a small business, often with business development training and other technical assistance

Require school officials to apply predetermined consequences for certain infractions, regardless of situational context or circumstances; consequences are usually severe (e.g., suspension or expulsion)

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
