Abstract

After more than three centuries the American Indian remains a stranger in his own land. Thirty years ago he was called the "vanishing American", but his number is increasing, in spite of the white man's attempts to "deculturize" him. There are nearly 700,000 American Indians living in the United States today. About 400,000 of them live on reservations. It is on these reservations that the neglect of the first Americans is most apparent. If all the minority groups in the country could be ranked by educational status, the Indian would be at the bottom of the totem pole.
