Current+Time+Paiutes

While living on the reserve made for them, half the population of the paiutes died from lack of resources and starvation. The federal government issued the policy of termination which was intended to enforce assimilation and make the Paiutes for self- sufficient among the rest of the Indian tribes. They suffered immensely and even lost approximately 15,000 acres of land due to lack of income disabling them from paying taxes.

After that, in 1980, Congress restored the federal trust relationship to the Paiutes again, which allowed them to receive help like resources and food from the government. Today, the Paiute Economic Development Committee is making new jobs that are close to the homes of the Paiutes.
