Literature writer Paul C. Rosier state in his book that; " Native Americans' struggles for rights and justice are – like the efforts of African Americans – an integral part of the development of American society." in comparsing to the africans americans fighting for their right and to be equal, today native americans are fighting to keep their history, their traditional ways so that in geenerations to comes and their kids kids can known about their ethnic background.

Obama adminsistry help contribute money to help "provided a measure of justice to American Indians, who, despite the poor treatment accorded them in matters such as trust accounts, racial discrimination, and treaty violations, have acted patriotically in the name of an America that champions cultural pluralism, minority rights, and international law."
