Native Americans -
I don't know if this will make what I talked about in class better or worse but here goes. I was not surprised that Native Americans were at the bottom of the socioeconomic class. They have a lot that is still given to them. Do they deserve it for what was taken away from them, yes...however what are they giving back to the US?
People who have come here from other countries fight for what they want. They have worked their way up from poverty often times to make a name for themselves while Native Americans are still seen as having alcohol problems and poor health. The Indians who do best for themselves are the ones who distance themselves from the reservations and find a job.
