How is their life right now? And what do you think about them in general?

Wish I knew their culture better. My great- great grandmother was on the trail of tears. She survived. But all the culture has been lost. Sad, to not know about a part of who you are. I have always felt a special kinship. Crazy though it may sound.
Not many Native Indians, around where I am at. Or at least that I know about.

They were treated cruelly. I have a few Native American Indian friends who are fine people.

the lives of native americans varies from tribe to tribe, and region to region...one thing remains constant, though-our government treats them like second-class citizens.
another thing i've noticed is that very few people have even a basic understanding of native american history and culture. what most people 'know', they 'learned' from hollywood.
i've come to have a deeper appreciation of native people as a result of marrying a native woman and getting to know the people in her tribe and thru pow-wows. i have met some of the nicest, most honest, generous, hard-working, patriotic, loving, and spiritual people i have ever known.

I don't think of any race "in general" because each person is an individual and should be recognized as so.

they were and are good people and they were robbed of their land, but thats the way this world works, they are fortunate America respected them and let them keep at least some of their land.
