The Native Americans were very important to American History. They were the first people in America. They had to live a very hard life. They made their own weapons and games and more.
Having a separate government, languages, religions, dress, and culture caused the dominant society to isolate the Indian people, or force them to assimilate. "Manifest destiny" gave the immigrants an excuse. Natives today are often criticized or ridiculed for holding to their ancient ways.
History is always written by the victor. There is not total exclusion of Native Americans from history, however their perspectives are not often represented. And perspectives of these Peoples has changed over time.
In the first years of East Coast contact, Native Americans were necessary for the survival of the colonists. There were grave misunderstandings of attitudes of the native cultures because of differences between them and those who came from Europe. As time progressed, tribes became allies and enemies and everything in between. Also, Native Americans are not one people with one culture throughout the contiguous United States.
Often, that which is not understood or considered praise-worthy is excluded from another culture's history except as a cautionary tale.
