Question

How has American changed over time? How has America's treatment of Native Americans changed over time? In what ways does America need to further change in its approach to its history with Native Americans?

Answer 1

America has changed over time in many different ways. For example, America has become more multicultural. Although America always had people of different nations, the trend is even more significant now, as people from almost every nation of the world live in America. We have also become more accepting of this, with laws that outlaw segregation and discrimination.

America's treatment of Native American people has also changed over time. During the early years of the country, Native Americans suffered greatly from loss of land, death, discrimination and poverty. In recent years, the government has tried to solve many of these problems by giving Native Americans citizenship, as well as more autonomy.

However, these problems are far from being solved. America still has a long way to go before Native Americans achieve full equality. Native Americans would benefit from better education. They also need more autonomy over their resources, and for their cultural legacy to be more protected.
