Naomi Schaefer Riley, weekly columnist for the New York Post and former Wall Street Journal editor and writer sits down with ChangeUp Media's Ben Weingarten for Encounter Books to discuss her new book "The New Trail of Tears: How Washington Is Destroying American Indians." During the interview, Naomi and Ben discuss a variety of topics including the plight of American Indians, the damage done by federal government regulation, welfare and lack of private property rights, the concomitant collapse of American Indian culture, how rent-seeking economic activity has stunted growth, what reforms like Ben Chavis are trying to do to improve Indian education and Riley's recommendations for how American Indians can change their fate.
