Native American have contributed significantly more than any other minority in the United States. The Iroquois Confederacy's government was a model the framers of the United States of America. Benjamin Franklin has onced quoted them for a superior form of government than anyone else in the world.

Many Native American tribes contributed to U.S. military. The Chickasaw, Choctaw supported the the U.S. in the American Revolution, War of 1812, and others military engagments. The Navajo (as with most Native American nations & tribes) supported the U.S. in World War II. Many tribal members served in Vietnam, Gulf War I, and today's conflicts.

Native Americans have explored space (John Herrington), written surrender documents (Ely Parker), contribution to literature (Sherman Alexie), contribute to the health of local economies (casinos, other enterpises), contributed to sports (Jim Thorpe, Billy Mills), guides for exploration (Sacagewea), helped found the Boys Scouts of America (Dr. Charles Eastman). And most importantly released their land holding for U.S. expansion-- this was not always a violent confrontation, some tribes received money and other goods/services for land.

Native Americans transformed their society for the United States of America.
