NATIVE AMERICANS' PROBLEM

Before the white man set foot on American soil, the Native Americans had been living on this land. They lived as tribes. There were about 300 Native American tribes on American soil such as; Cheyenne, Cherokees and Apaches. Their land soil was very productive. Because of this, they were agricultural and hunter people. It is believed that the Indians originated in Asia because, people believed that they came from India. The name "Indian" was first applied to them by Christopher Columbus, who discovered America Continental. When the Europeans started to arrive in the 16th- and 17th-century they were met by Native Americans. Especially, English people tried to be the owner of the Native Americans' soil.

Indians know about the agriculture a lot because, in the past they were interested in agriculture. They lived by farming. Secondly, Native Americans have been the most warrior people in the world. They know fighting on the land by using some fight implements. According to this, a Native American person can be given an active role in the U.S Army or an active role in the Ministry of Defense. By these, Native Americans can be seen as a first class people in the government and in U.S.A.

Another solution is that; Native Americans should accept living with other races. Nobody is the owner of the lands on the earth. However, it is natural to own the America soils for Native Americans because of their history. They lost many
