Content: While it is important to be positive and hopeful about the future of life for Native Americans in this country, it is first important to have a genuine understanding of what Indigenous people face, collectively and individually. WHAT IS NATIVE AMERICAN LIFE LIKE TODAY? To understand what Native American life is like today, we first need to understand what it used to be like. For the past 500 years, Native Americans have faced genocide, dislocation, and various forms of physical, mental, and social abuse. These factors have led to high rates of violence, assault, and abuse among the Native American people today. We have to understand the historical destruction that has occurred and how this destruction feeds the overwhelming hopelessness experienced by many Native Americans in the 21st century. UNDERSTANDING THE PAIN AND DIFFICULTY IS THE FIRST STEP TO OVERCOMING AND FINDING HOPE. Part of the challenge is that Native Americans are a diverse and scattered race of peoples. There are currently 6.7 million Native Americans living in the United States. However, only 22% of Native Americans live on reservations.
