“Native Americans of North America”, created by Microsoft Corporation, discusses various topics that relate to the life of
Native Americans today and in the past. Today, many Native American tribes have either disappeared or stayed in
existence by forming themselves into a more modern civilization. By doing this, they have learned to adapt to modern
society without losing their true identity. Unfortunately, at the start of the twenty first century, many of these Native
Americans encountered many problems in economics, education, and health. The rates of school dropouts, suicide,
poverty, and alcoholism had all risen to its highest point at this time. However, these statistics are all becoming part of
history because of the Native Americans' successful advancement in our society today.
