How has the Native American’s culture, history, and daily life been affected by European migration into the Americas?
European migration into America has affected Native American's culture and daily lives. It has caused a decrease in Native Americans because of what the American people have done to them. They have constantly tried to ruin their culture and move them from place to place and haven't treated them fairly.
Past In the past, Native Americans were treated unfairly and were constantly having their culture taken away from them. When pilgrims first came to America, Native Americans would help them and gave them food, shelter, and clothing but they were still treated unfairly. They fought for their freedom and tried to live their lives without disturbing Americans. Natives would create dances and practices to the gods to try to have the god help them. | Present As of 2014, 2% of the US population was Native Americans and about 330 reservations. There are people that are creating volunteer groups to help them and to help rebuild reservations for them. These volunteers also give them food, water, and clothing. | Future In 2060, there's an estimate that the Native American population will take up about 2.6% of the US. |

Native American Population 1492-1980
The graph above of the Native American population shows a dramatic decrease, then a slight increase. The decrease is where the Natives were treated unfairly, after the decrease (about 1900) the Native population starts to increase which is about where the Natives were left alone by the Americans.
