Today their descendants are relegated to lands totaling less than 50,000 square miles. Native American Issues focuses on the contemporary political issues surrounding the confinement of native peoples to limited lands in the United States and Canada.
Also discussed is the status and powers of native governments and the health, wealth, and education of native peoples.
