Why are Native American reservations such dumps?
<|assistant|>
Native American reservations are typically located in rural areas which are isolated from the mainstream population, leading to a lack of access to infrastructure and services that is necessary for development. Additionally, historical inequalities and government mistreatment have impeded the ability for reservations to thrive. For example, the Department of Interior's Trust Fund, set up to receive the royalties from fossil fuel development on lands taken from the tribes, has provided limited economic benefits to many tribes, while at the same time polluting lands and causing the destruction of wildlife habitat.
