Heart to Help
The Mission of Rolling Revival Relief is to advocate to proactively minimize the short falls that Native Americans and people of color face in trying to achieve a quality of life that every human being is entitled to.
Many Native Americans and advocates of Native American rights point out that the U.S. federal government's claim to recognize the "sovereignty" of Native American peoples falls short, -- Native Americans faced racism and prejudice for hundreds of years, and this increased after the American Civil war... Native Americans, like African Americans, were subjected to the Jim Crow Laws which institutionalized economic, educational, and social disadvantages for Native Americans, and other people of color.
We have joined the Poor People's Campaign because most of our families, tribes, and communities number among those suffering most in this country. We are demanding what is rightfully ours - the right to have a decent life in our own communities.
Native American struggles amid poverty to maintain life on the reservation or in larger society having resulted in a variety of health issues, some related to nutrition and health practices - beyond disturbingly high mortality rates, Native Americans also suffer a significantly lower health status and disproportionate access to nutrition and emergency services that would combat this disparity. Many tribes struggle, as they are often located on reservations isolated from the main economic centers of the country. The estimated 2.1 million Native Americans are the most impoverished of all ethnic groups. Join us in this mission to end adversity for Native Peoples and people of color.
