As of 2023, Indigenous peoples in the United States own approximately 56 million acres of land, which is about 2% of the total land area of the country. However, land ownership among Indigenous communities varies significantly across different tribes and regions. In India, tribal communities collectively own around 13% of the country's land, though this figure also varies widely based on state and local governance. Overall, the amount of land owned by Indigenous peoples reflects historical injustices and ongoing efforts for land rights and sovereignty.

When did congress grant all Indians American citizenship?
In the year of 1887. They used the Dawes Act and forced the Indians to become farmers (which they were hunters and traders) and settle in families instead of tribes in separate pieces of land. The Indians were given bad land that couldn't be used to grow crops and sometimes they were cheated out of their own land.Then, by the late 1960s, the U.S. government gave ALLIndians pieces of land that could ONLY belong to the Indians and they were taught school stuff like money. Now Indians can go to stores to get what they need, get jobs, and drive cars!(this was all from an 8th grader from CIA and most of it was from my own learning today only a few hours ago)

How did the Indians get to America?
IMPROVED ANSWER:The first Indians came to the Americas from Asia more than 20,000 years ago. Some scientists think they arrived at least 40,000 years ago. At the time they came, huge ice sheets covered much of the northern half of the earth. As a result, much of the earth that is now under water was dry land when the Indians came from Asia. One such area was the Bering Strait, which today separates Asia and North America.The Indians, following the animals that they hunted, wandered across this land, a distance of about 50 miles. By the time Christopher Columbus arrived, Indians were living in the New World from the Far North all the way to the southern tip of South America.First off Indians and Mexicans alike are all from Korean. Indians came from Korea millions of years ago they were following there food which was the wholly mammoths and they crossed over during the last ice age which was over the ice bridge which came from china to Alaska and later made there own civilization. If you don't know yet Columbus founded the new world and he called the people that lived there Indians because he thought he had went to India. Mexicans are in fact Indians if you have a full blooded Indian and Mexican in front of you how would you tell them apart only by the way they talk. The only reason Mexicans have there different language is because they were cut off by there sister tribes in America. Just like the Indians had a different language than the British or French.
How much land did the native Americans own?
'Ownership' of land was not a Native idea. Indians belonged to various tribes and bands. The Plains Indians moved across the land as the seasons progressed, hunting in the summer and moving to more protective climates in the winters. The bands of the Pacific Northwest tended to stay closer to one spot, building long houses and these bands often hunted and fished very close to home. The closest the Natives got to 'ownership' of land was if one tribe or band wished to acquire better hunting or fishing grounds (for instance) they might go to war with another band or tribe. But in no way is it correct to think that ANY Native EVER thought in terms of 'ownership' of land. Land was the Earth. No one could own the land anymore than one could own the Air. You could live on lands and thank the Gods for allowing you to live on the lands, but in no way were the lands YOUR possession. That would go against the Creator... after all, the Creator created the land. So who could 'own' the land if not the Creator? The idea of land ownership came from the European settlers and their Kings back in Europe.
