American tribes have a far different situation from Aussie aborigines, who are UTTERLY HELPLESS and have nothing. American Tribal Nations have had a LOT of their own land and large valuable resources , many are getting RICH OFF IT . AUSSIE NATIVES DON'T HAVE THIS. The situation is EXTREMELY DIFFERENT, as is the climate as well. They lived outdoors all this time for thousands of years. but they had a choice of where to roam, for natural resources. NOBODY gave them ANYTHING up to the present. This is not the case at all with American tribal Nations.

those aborigines living outside , with a shelter, are living how they used t o live for millennia-- outdoors, in a hot climate. . the problem is that they can't choose the best natural place to live, and they don' t live at the same type of standard as the other people who are not used to living outdoors . But they never did live like white people, til white people/ outsiders came, rather recently. so, it's no kind of comparison , to just show " how they live" outdoors today. It's no t much different than how they lived before white people- but they are now dependent since they can't do a lot of nomad life or hunting, or choosing an area near water etc. So this now causes the need for attention to thier living resources. they need designated areas to live, instead of the streets, and need protections from modern crime , much like homeless people need.

Americans didn't do a thing to natives until they kept attacking us. They have had thier own very large designated lands and rich resources that we can't touch, for over a hundred years . Called Reservations. Many a re getting rich of f it. They own a lot more than most Americans, it is only for them. The ones that use the resources well, are now rich today. They were separate nations, and still a re. But they got citizenship 100 years ago after the wars stopped when we defeated them. They had plenty of guns too. Treaties were settled and the Tribes got lots of benefits from the us government in exchange for peace. They sitll have special rights by treaty that No other people have.
