Native Americans

Since the beginning of time, Native Americans have been fighting their tribal wars, doing their rituals and managing to survive in hard conditions and sometimes very dangerous environments. But as the world kept on advancing, Natives started facing new issues and challenges regarding their culture and their groups of people. DNA genetic studies confirmed the Siberian origins of Native Americans in the test conducted in 2015.

While researching and learning new things about Native American group of people, I learned quite a few scary and shocking things. Many of the Native teens tend to commit suicide because they have no one to talk to, nowhere to go, and no one to be with, which makes the suicide rate go up form year to year (Newsela). Couple a months ago, a kid killed himself because of a game back in my hometown because his mom took his computer away and he couldn’t play Fortnite. That’s how important and concerning mental health is. Kids nowadays don’t understand how valuable their life is, no matter how hard the conditions are where they are living at, and even if you hit the bottom of the ocean and lose all hope, It can only start get better from that point on.

Some different groups amongst Native Americans are Apache, Iroquois, Chitto and many others.Many of the other Native American have lived on the Mississippi river, and it  has been home to people of different Native American cultures.The main tribes in the area were the Chickasaw, Choctaw, and the Natchez.

Since Native Americans had a very rough past, and the nowadays Native Americans need help with education, with treating and hopefully curing their diseases, as well as providing shelters and homes for them.

Considering how much have Native Americans been through as people and as a social group, we have to help them overcome their problems and their troubles. I feel like Natives should have free health care programs and should recieve money for food from the government. I think this is the least we can do to help these people live a peaceful and healthy life.(HuffPost)
