    I can note that the GDP omit revenue from traditional gift-giving economy from the First Nation Native American people in North America, goods and services from the natural environment, goods that people make for self-consumption, properties that colonial government do not recognized, or living expense. These omissions mask the financial burden that many Indigenous groups face from Pax Americana and Bretton Woods institutions that reject property ownership rights of Indigenous groups, destroy informal economy that sustains many Indigenous rural communities, and rising living cost from Neo-Liberalism that cannot compensate for a small percentage of formal financial gain from Neo-Liberalism.
