No. As Native Americans they were discriminated against, killed, given diseases, and removed from ancestral lands. The population of Native Americans was cut in half or wiped out completely from 1620 to the 1800's. Even today many tribes have lost their native language and ways due to the reservation system or by removal of the children to government schools. They were not allowed to speak their native language, dress in tribal dress, practice religion or worship as their tribe would, and the boys were forced to cut their hair ( cutting the hair only happened on a death of a parent). When they were allowed to leave the school at 21 they were neither part of their tribe nor part of the American white culture. Some killed themselves as a result.
