95% of their population decimated, their own lands stolen from them and they're the demographic with the highest suicide rate in the US while making only 1% of the US population. Native Americans living in urban areas experience also higher rates of alcohol use compared to other ethnicities as a result of acculturative stress directly and indirectly associated with historical trauma. We don't talk enough about Native Americans in the US.
Id argue No. I think estimates put the total death count of natives by the Spanish/French/English/Dutch/Americans at anywhere from 90 to 120 million
Native populations virtually everywhere for all of history got absolutely f***ed. Not just native Americans but also the indigenous tribes of Australia, south east Asia, Canada, etc.

Like another guy said, pretty much natives in general have gotten shafted throughout history. Another example of this is the Ainu that were native in Japan. Japanese government forcefully integrated them and made them stop using their language, practicing their culture, ect.
Comparing oppression is dumb though. It's not a competition of who suffered the most.
Just being real
I’d rather live in the projects than a barren dusty reservation
