Native Americans

I feel as if Native Americans in the past and present are treated badly. I believe that more things need to be done with Native American rights in the United States and move in a better direction not worse. I say worse because now they are trying to tax Native land which is basically all they have left to call their own. Our society as a whole needs to step up and do something, for example the Peltier case. It shows how twisted our government can be but the fact that people are still speaking out and trying to help this man that seems to be falsely accused of murder. So I guess I need more information to really discuss Native Americans but from the reading and the two that presented in class it seems that our government is doing them wrong and there needs to be something done. But do people think its fair that everything they get is cheaper? Yes it is there basic way of income but they are allowed to work in the U.S. and get jobs so should they still have the for cheaper goods?
