Alaska natives aren't on reservations. They have every advantage in the world, including piles of money handed to them for free, free homes (from Clinton era HUD programs) free medical care, free education, endless loan advantages etc. Outside of developed cities, they are largely all still broke, alcoholic idiots living like hillbillies in a shack in Kentucky.... from Barrow to Dutch Harbor. Their cities have some of the highest crime per capita in the nation (Bethel in particular), they have to ban alcohol from cities and boroughs to keep them from raping, robbing and killing each other while drunk. Incest and child sexual abuse is the norm.
So... so much for your theory.
Anyone can live anywhere and do and be anything they want to, within the law. Many choose not to.
