Reservation poverty is a type of poverty felt by some people living on Native American reservations. Native American reservations are special areas of land where Indigenous people live and their culture and traditions are respected. Reservation poverty often happens when Indigenous people do not have enough money to buy food, clothes, and other essential things they need to live. This poverty also happens because of unfair treatment by the government, like not providing enough money and resources to people living on reservations or not offering job or educational opportunities. This type of poverty is a big problem on some reservations, and it's often very hard to escape from.
