They comprise a diverse range of tribes, each with their unique languages, ceremonies, and customs. Historically, Native Americans have been both celebrated for their profound spiritual connection with nature and marginalized through various periods of colonization and forced assimilation. Today, many tribes continue to fight for their rights, preservation of land, cultural recognition, and the sovereignty that recognizes their status as distinct peoples with rich histories.
