What happened to the Natives after Europeans?

Well Europeans came to America thinking no one had discovered that there was land there and that there were no inhabitants, but the Native Americans were here. So in discovering that there were people there, the Europeans tried to take their land from them by killing them. But there were ultimately too many to kill all of them, so they assigned them to reservations, and sold all their land to European settlers. So now there aren't very many Native Americans left due to the settlers greed :)
