Letter: America must rectify atrocities done to Native Americans too

Many are residing in reservations without proper health care, education, employment and government representation.

I am thankful the United States of America is finally coming to its knees in recognizing the atrocities done to African Americans beginning with slavery.

Rectification must happen now.

Please do not forget the Native American people of this land who were seen by most American colonists as not human at all. History has blurred their culture and many are residing in reservations without proper health care, education, employment and government representation. Native American young adults are twice as likely as any other ethnic group to die before age 24.

Rectification for Native Americans must also be addressed now.
