Why doesn't the "Native Race" fix what they did to themselves?

The way it doesnt perform for the people.\n Philosophical contributins have addressed the dilemmas and opportunities facing Canada, Australia and Europe, to mention just a couple of areas where federal arrangements are seen as interesting solutions to accommodating differences among populations divided by ethnic or cultural cleavages yet seeking a common political order.\n Within the realm of what is considered normal in government, It serves itself with disregard to the benefits it should be giving to the public, rather, serving it's own existence.\nHence, its self fulfilling.

Historic immigration is irrelevant because there was no welfare state and subsidized services.  The Native American bit was conquest as they got the territories from each other, to begin with.\n\nWe can't pay to educate the world's poor and still take care of our own.  Schools are failing and hospitals are closing.  We ignored a few hundred thousand, and gave amnesty to a few million, only to find many of them became 'bases' to bring in more illegal friends and relatives.  Now there are 11 to 20 million and it is a major crises in areas where they concentrate.\n\nIt isn't just 'entry' although I think we have every right to say that we want to maintain our own culture, as well, because we like it that way.  It is SUBSIDY of education at the expense of our children and health care at the expense of our sick.\n\nTheir better life is at our expense.

No.\n:-)\nBut it should. \n\nLike all other countries that were invaded by our ancestors and linked to their own country.\nGive back the natives their own land !

They can.  The reason that some do not is because they are stubborn and ignorant and intolerant of diversity.  Plain and simple.  Bigotry and Rasism and Intolerance.  Shameful for people with the technology and knowledge that we have now to behave like cavemen in this respect.

The native Australians think the same thing. The monarchy is a tradition, and a very expensive one at that. I would like to know why that tradition is upheld because they have no power. they are basically useless.

they need to help themselves and over throw their own goverment if we tried for them they would just cry that we are racist and after their land lol some men you just cant help \n\nyou know that old saying give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he will eat for life . well thats what they need to do learn as a country stand for themselves if they would unite for this, \n\nthey should take this time while so many eyes are on them to make a change instead of crying about us  they have their own land they are not a people without a land !

Its the same with many indigenous peoples that feel 'hard done by' all over the world. They feel that they should be compensated forever.

It is a proven fact that Indigenous peoples were set up for failure. A little history for all of you who are so close minded that you can't even come up with a tangible answer...\n \n In 1786, the United States established its first "Native American" reservation and approached each tribe as an independent nation. This policy remained intact for more than one hundred years. But as President James Monroe noted in his second inaugural address in 1821, treating Native Americans this way “flattered their pride, retarded their improvement, and in many instances paved the way to their destruction.” \n\nIn addition, Monroe observed that America’s westward growth “has constantly driven them back, with almost the total sacrifice of the lands which they have been compelled to abandon. They have claims on the magnanimity and . . . on the justice of this nation which we must all feel.” Despite Monroe’s concern for the plight of Native Americans, his administration successfully removed them from states north of the Ohio River. \n \nYeah, so Monroe, like so many others may have sympathized with our mistreatment, but still did nothing to reverse the continuing cycle of Indigenous peoples suppression!!!

and i'm grateful it happened. because my mother crossed the river illegally i was given the opportunity to be educated and give back to my community. we never received government aid of any kind growing up even when our cupboards were empty. we wore hand-me-downs and suffered the judgement of our peers for our accents and poverty. our parents slaved to provide just the basics and nary a government check passed through our hands. \ni accept that mexicans make a great scapegoat. the nation's ills have been diagnosed and it is far easier to treat the symptom than to make a diagnosis. perhaps if more people learned to question the business than blame the worker then maybe we could understand where the blame is better placed.

Look at all of the unrest in Africa -- it's ALL directly related to the colonization of Africa.\n\nThe British had a nasty habit of arming and equiping a minority group to keep the majority ethnic group 'at bay'.  This little policy of theirs is directly related to various ethnic problems, Rwanda is a perfect example.

Not while the government institutions make distinctions between the races and give preferences based on racial differences.\n\nThis means affirmative action, quotas, set-asides, lowering of college entrance requirements, etc.\n\nEvery action of government that differentiates between races keeps racial divisions alive.

I absolutely think it is necessary and possible. Not that it would make things feel any better, but I think it is deserved. The least the US Federal Government could do is acknowledge their wrong-doing in this area, and try to help mend the current hardships that Native Americans are facing. Many of my ancestors were Native Americans, and I feel like they are forgotten about. We hear so much about slavery and making things right for the black man (not that it is undeserved) but what about Native Americans? I think it is time.

They can, they just have to do it legally!!!!  Otherwise, they are breaking the law and our govt. SHOULD be enforcing it.  That is not discrimination.

To me, it's not a racial issue.  It's the established laws that needs to be followed. If some brainless people can't even follow a simple law, what good will it be for them to even be here in the US?  How will they help our country?  All they're thinking is, "Me me me me"!  Their a bunch of selfish group of people who take things for granted.
