Enslaved to continual poverty, lack of decent education, institutional violence including rape and murder for centuries. Yes we have issues with domestic violence thanks to the destruction of our own infrastructure and familial way of life. Yes we have alcoholism on par with some white cultures like Sweden and Finland who also cannot handle their alcohol, but here Whites were only to happy to supply that to Natives for their own ends. When we do begin to survive on our own, you hate us for being entitled and 'uppity', but white racists always think everyone else should kowtow to them and their self-avowed superiority. Nobody has carried the American Native, we have survived despite the US governments lies, broken treaties and promises. The money we got were ours anyway for the resources below lands the white, US government handed us, thinking there was nothing there in the first place. American's are rich because of stolen lands and resources, not because they are unique.
