Today most Native Americans live in USA and North America. Many have settled down in the cities while others live in reservations mostly west of the Mississippi. Their way of living isn’t the way it used to be, so I think it’s good that some Native Americans haven’t changed their lifestyle completely. In the reservations they have their own laws and they are also self- governed. A big part of America’s natural resources such as oil, tumbler and natural gas are from the reservations. Some years ago they got money as compensation for the areas that were taken away from them. Unfortunately many are still living in bad conditions and in some states it is illegal for them to participate in activities. They also struggle with social problems such as poverty and unemployment. In spite of this several reservations have begun to prosper economically mainly as a result of thriving casinos! So today they mostly live their life as any other inhabitant in America!

// ** Personal Meaning ** To sum up //// I think Native Americans have been treated in a cruel way. In the first place no humans should be forced to move away from their homes and secondly no humans have the right to harass others. For this reason I think it was // fair //that they got money as compensation, but can money fix the damages that already have been done? Instead of focusing on the past we should have the power to make the Native Americans future better! Remember, all humans are created// equally!
