I don´t understand your question. The indians were relocated from their U.S. vast lands to reservations that had no; buffaloes (their main source of living), good planting soil, or running water. They have lived inhumanely in these reservations in the U.S. since that time. "According to the 1990 U.S. Census, 30.9 percent (of Native Americans) lived in poverty - that is, they earned $12,674 a year for a family of four. Additionally, their life expectancy rate was 47 years of age ...unemployment rates were often ten times the national average; and Indian Country had higher than the national average rates of teen suicides, alcoholism, and spousal abuse."



There has been a step towards redemption. The government has given different tribes grants and gaming rights. The question is, is it enough for having taken away their land and their dignity? So, it is not a question of "letting" native Americans live in the U.S. It is a question of not letting anyone forget whose land it was, how unjustly they were treated and most importantly understanding that these great people help forge and are part of what is now a great nation. Think of them when you feel pride for your country.



Speak of Me

By Darren M. Grine



I am the raindrops of spring

I am the warmth of summer

I am the serene colors of fall

I am the tranquil winter snow

I am the whispers in the wind



Although my time here was short

I was celebrated as a native miracle

My life on Mother Earth brought much joy

For reasons unknown, the Great Spirit needed me

While I’m no longer here, you will forever know I’m there

Speak of me, and you will always hear my voice from the past

Ind?



EDIT:

I dunno, probably something similar to what happened in central / south america with the locals accepting the religion of the colonialist but mixing it with their culture and being treated as second class citizens with the whites dominating the politics
