There was a long time member of the Columbus Ohio Board of Education (at one time she was chairperson) who was declared permanently and totally disabled before she ran for the school board. (means you can't even do part-time work) She served on the school board for over 20 years while she was supposedly disabled. When it became public that she was receiving disability while working on the school board, she lost the disability. Her history rings bells for me regarding Nathan Phillips.
In any event, I speculate that there is some significant chance that Phillips is on disability while he goes around the country banging his drum. This is pure speculation on my part, and I could be completely wrong. However, I would be curious as to what his employment history is and maybe if people are asking questions, it will come out.
Also, while people are attacking the students, they ignore Phillips poor record when he was a young man. Here is his record from the NY Post:
"When he was a teen and in his early 20s, Phillips was charged with escaping, assault and various alcohol-related crimes, according to the Washington Examiner, which cited news reports from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska.
He was charged as a 19-year-old “with escaping from the Nebraska Penal Complex where he was confined May 3,” according to a 1974 article in the Lincoln Star.
Later that year, Phillips pleaded guilty to assault and was fined $200. He also was charged with underage possession of alcohol in 1972, 1973 and 1975, as well as negligent driving, the Examiner reported.
In August 1973, a charge of destruction of property against him was dropped, but he was sentenced to a year of probation for a related charge of alcohol possession by a minor." https://nypost.com/2019/01/24/native-american-activist-nathan-phillips-has-a-criminal-record/
