Economics is the cause for exclusion of Afro- Native Americans

Tribal affairs of Native Americans are now seen as a business and connections show how far you will make it in the tribal community. Economists trace economic behaviors to human instinct – to greed.    Sociologists trace behavior to institutions, or conventions that constrain what we can do and what we can imagine doing; networks, or social groups and their roles in creating identities as well as behavioral norms and constraints; power, or the use of position and coercion to determine how people can behave and how they see their own interests; and cognition, or how people’s perceptions of the world shape their behavior in it (Dobbin).   Native American tribes in the United States because they are now running as a business and exclusion will happen.
