Experiencing poverty during childhood can lead to lasting harmful effects in which poverty is passed on to future generations - a cycle that disproportionately affects Native American families. To identify policies and programs that can reduce long-term, intergenerational poverty among Native Americans in the United States, the Board on Children, Youth, and Families held information-gathering sessions on July 22, 2022 and July 25, 2022. In these sessions, key historical and structural factors that lead to entrenched poverty were examined as well as promising interventions for addressing them. Importantly, these sessions included a conversation with community leaders on their experiences with and work on intergenerational poverty as well as key data and trends on this topic.Table of ContentsFront Matter1 Introduction2 A Conversation with Community Leaders on Intergenerational Poverty3 Data and Trends4 Drivers and Interventions of Intergenerational Poverty Among Native AmericansReferencesAppendix A: Public Meeting AgendasAppendix B: Statement of Task for Committee on Policies and Programs to Reduce Intergenerational Poverty
