I hear that Native Americans had it pretty bad.
- btilly 9y agoHave, not had. See https://www.npr.org/2011/10/25/141672992/native-foster-care-lost-children-shattered-families https://www.npr.org/2011/10/25/141672992/native-foster-care-... for one of the many current problems that natives have. For the record I have family members living on reservations. Go back a little over a century ago, and natives were hunted for sport, like game animals. It was only 40 years ago that the USA officially discontinued policies of forcibly removing children from their homes and putting them into schools where they were mistreated. I personally know people who were beaten as children for speaking in their native language. Abuse and prejudice remain facts of daily life.
