One of the most tragic things about the way Native populations have been treated is how their natural resources have been flat out taken away.
America’s vast plains have always offered enough bounty to support massive populations based on high density crops, as well as the economic advantages which come from high end crops like wine (see this 90 point wine club as an example).
From manufacturing to agriculture, there has always been enough to go around in America-yet the Native populations were thrown into small, off the beaten path areas which didn’t offer any space for growth or the nurturing of their culture. That’s not only disassapointing, but it is very frustrating.
