They always write this stuff acting like the only Native Indians are whiny bitches like the Navajo.
When there are plenty of tribes who did completely assimilate and had a far better time for it without having to sacrifice their identity or culture either. My local Louisiana tribe literally just became one with the white settlers to the point where we all just look red (thanks to the sun turning our skin leather) and they have their tribal meetings while we go about our business.
But no, its always that historical revisionism that there was no choice for the Indians but to be slaughtered and tortured because Whitie was just that evil. They had zero agency ever and never did a single thing wrong that lead to their albeit tragic consequences.
Ppl seem to ignore the fact that being an Indian sucks. For the most part it still does.
Assimilate sure. It's a better life. Continue to do whatever Indian stuff you like.
Reservations are hotbeds of alcoholism, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
There are basically no employment opportunities outside taking money from the government.
If you live on a reservation and you want a good job or a career then you go where the work is, just like everyone else.
The USA switched from substance farming to a factory production economy in WWII. Agriculture was mechanised and people have been moving to cities ever since.
This has impacted every single small rural town, and native American reservation are no exception. Except Native Americans have their cultural identity tied up in being isolated and jobless.
It is exactly the same with Aboriginal Australians. Most of them that live in Sydney or Melbourne no longer speak 'language' and they might even get jobs.
Yes everyone with ambition beyond drinking themselves to death leaves. I went to school with some of these as they get huge diversity points.
