What special issues do the hill tribe people deal with?
Many of the hill tribe people do not have citizenship and therefore are very limited in what they can do as far as education, jobs, travel, and receive no social services. Many hill tribes do not have schools within their villages. Therefore the young people must leave their villages in order to attend school. Many of these young people live far away from their village where they learn different cultures and develop different values and ideas. When they return to their home village, they have a difficult time fitting in and often cannot find a job using their education. Many hill tribes also deal with drug problems as those who cannot find work are lured to selling and/or using drugs.
