Not all Native American tribes have their own land
There are approximately 326 tribal land areas in the U.S., in comparison to only 574 federally-recognized tribes. Out of all the tribes that do have land, it’s on average only 2.6 percent as large as the territory they used to have before colonization.
Most tribes were forced by the U.S. government to relocate, with no other place to go. It’s well known that 22% of Native Americans live on tribal lands, stats that were proved by the 2010 Census. Even so, a 2014 study conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development discovered that 68% of Native Americans and Alaskan Natives live on or close to their homelands.

Excellent post! We are linking to this particularly great post on our website.
Keep up the great writing.
Looking forward to more information .History taught never much of any facts of actual history,facts marred in time.
Short paragraphs but loaded with precise facts .Very inspiring and informative.
What’s interesting to me, where did the ‘native’ Americans come from. If we complete a more intense historical search, the ‘native’ American came from Filipino islands which really complicate the ‘American’ claim. When tracing historical facts, we should not stop searching when we get the results we’re looking for. History requires accuracy to the historical beginning. When a complete line of heritage is gone because a ‘wacko’ kills them all, that doesn’t change historical facts!
It was very interesting would enjoy reading more about this as my mother was native American
My maternal grandmother was a Onondaga Iroquois. I learned a lot of my Indian heritage from my grandfather. I am proud to be part of this history. Thank you for this history lesson.
This is deeply disturbing. Many of us don’t think to reeducate ourselves. Our history that is taught in school is all lies. I am Iriquois, from the northern NY state into Canada’s Quebec providence. My great great great grandmother was full blooded Iriquois, Seneca. I am proud of that and I respect all the tribes.
Good one!
