Like all other indigenous people, the American Indians are still one of the most marginalized people on earth. their land was taken away from them and so they have to adapt to mainstream culture because it is in almost all ways inevitable and it their existence to some degree depends on how the mainstream culture works (only those who are not living their traditional way of life). so they have been brutally assimilated in the mainstream culture and have to live with it all their lives now...like the some of the Australian aborigines and most indigenous people in south east Asia.
