Native American issues

Native American issues encompass a range of social, economic, and political challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in the United States. These include struggles for sovereignty and recognition of tribal rights, preservation of cultural heritage, and access to resources such as land and water. Many Native communities experience high rates of poverty, unemployment, and health disparities. Education and representation in government are also critical areas of concern. Historical injustices, such as colonization and broken treaties, continue to impact contemporary Native American life, fueling ongoing efforts for self-determination, justice, and equitable treatment within broader society.
