No! The reservation is simply land that has been reserved for a specific tribe to use and govern as they wish. Most Native Americans actually live outside of the reservations. In Minnesota, the state my tribe (Ojibwe) is from, the largest population of Native Americans live in Minneapolis, which is also our biggest city.

The American Indian is the original American citizen. We (the European "invaders"took the country away from them. If anyone is an illegal alien, it is all of us from various foreign descent.

This is a question? Why do Native Americans choose to live on
reservations today but complain about how poor they are and have no
electricity, water, etc.? Why do they still receive subsidies and pay no
tax? Shouldn't they solve their own problems? It's 2020.

What was the reason for the native americans migrating?
1. Some groups of Native Americans were nomadic and traveled with certain animal groups/herds/etc for food and resources. 2. Another reason would be when groups from Europe and Asia came and forced them off of their native land so they could take the land as their own. They also made the Native Americans live on reservations.
Do Native Americans pay taxes?
From what I've read Native Americans don't pay state taxes on money they earn (or which is distributed to them by the tribe) if they live AND work within the tribal area. If they work outside or live outside, then that money is taxable. This is true in California and I assume true everywhere else as long as the tribe is federally recognised. In any event they still have to pay federal taxes.
How did the development of agriculture change life for the native Americans?
The development of agriculture changed life for Native Americans by leading to more settled communities, a shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to cultivating crops, and the establishment of more complex social structures and economies. This transition also influenced cultural practices and relationships with the land.
Were Native Americans colonized or did they immigrate to the US?
If I have to choose one of those options, I would choose that the Native Americans were colonized by the United States. However, I would argue that while the US illegally confiscated the territory that Native Americans occupied, the Native Americans were rarely, if ever, colonized. The US did not want them as citizens and actively fought several wars and committed atrocities to force them off of land that the US government decided would be in its interest to control directly. Native Americans only became "integrated" into the US via the Reservation System, whereby Native Americans received US citizenship and lived on Reservations, but this is fundamentally different than colonization in Latin America, Africa, or Asia where the native populations were actively involved in the European-dominated society.

What was the relationship between the English settlers and the native Americans like?
The relationship between the two groups of people was very brutal and immoral. The native Americans settled here first, but the Europeans came to America. The native Americans would show the Europeans how they live in their culture and what practices they use such as: hunting, sewing, cooking, performing sacrifices, etc. And so the Europeans used some of these advantages against the native Americans and killed the majority off and took their land. Now today, native Americans have private reservations where they live scattered all around the US. to continue their rituals and practices in Harmony with each other without the threat of the Europeans.
