Just as in all other cultures some were treated well, others were treated very badly.
Among the Blackfoot and some other northern Plains groups, women who were unfaithful to their husbands had their noses cut off so they could never again be thought attractive.
On the other hand the Crows (another northern Plains tribe) treated their women very well - except that the warriors of one men's society were allowed to steal the wives of the men of another society and those men could say nothing to stop them (they were allowed to steal wives back again, later).
Women generally had an important part to play and the day-to-day work around camp was mostly done by women. in many tribes (like the Crows) a man's tribal, clan and family relationship was determined by his mother, not his father.
Men and women generally had responsibility for different aspects of life; men controlled everything to do with hunting and war, women had responsibility for preparing food, constructing the dwelling and raising children. This partition of work prevented arguments about who should do what.

∙ 13y agoIn a strict sense, none of them. Women in Native American society were different from men, and they knew it, unlike today where they think they are the same - Biology alone shows they are not. I'm sure that many will say this answer is sexist, but that is from not understanding these societies. For example: In Cherokee culture, women owned all property and carried the family name but had no voice in public matters (per se); this means her husband should think about where he will be living if he didn't join his voice with hers (at least in part).
These societies were about striking a balance between what is natural, and to that point men and women are not equal.
