The Great Society programs of the 1960s aimed to reduce poverty and improve living conditions across the United States, including for Native Americans. However, while some initiatives provided essential services like education and healthcare, many Native Americans found that these programs often failed to address their unique cultural and economic needs. Additionally, the policies sometimes led to a loss of tribal autonomy and further marginalization. Overall, the impact was mixed, with some benefits overshadowed by ongoing challenges and disconnection from traditional ways of life.

Great Society programs, initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s, aimed to eliminate poverty and racial injustice, but their impact on Native Americans was mixed. While some programs provided funding for education, healthcare, and housing, they often failed to address the unique needs and sovereignty of Native American communities. Additionally, the implementation of these programs sometimes led to a loss of cultural identity as tribes were encouraged to assimilate into mainstream American society. Overall, while there were some benefits, many Native Americans felt marginalized and overlooked in the broader Great Society agenda.

I can not think of any positive effects for the Native Americans. Their land was taken, they were killed, they died of disease, and they were treated as second class citizens.
It is because the native Americans have a lot of land and also the native Americans land have a lot of native and wild animals feeding on it.
There are various programs and scholarships which are specific to Native Americans, however, Native Americans as a general group in whole do NOT get to go to college for free. Additionally, the rules for aboriginals/ Native Americans in Canada are different than those in the United States.
