the other day in history we were working on a section for Indians. and i think that we , as americans or whites, owe them so much! like land and money! because of everything that we have done! and they have a high suicide and alcaholism rate too! and they are on little crappy reservations! its horrible!!
if anyone on here is am Indian, i am so sorry! and I feel so bad! anyone agree or know what I could do?
thanks so much!

There's really nothing you can do. You can't change history. And as was noted before, it's not as if Native Americans were the only race to ever suffer unfair treatment and hardship. Hell, even white people faced unfair treatment when the colonists first came over.
History will repeat itself unless we learn from it. As a single person, you could never provide reparations for the entire race, but you could at least learn from past mistakes so they are not repeated. And by looking at the tone of this question, you already have.
