The same is true of the indigenous people in Australia and America. White people have been "civilised" longer than the indigenous people who have settled many thousands of years ago; they eat more rubbish and have more sedentary lives because of this "civilisation thing".

Their countries are most often in turmoil and they are shoved from pillar to post with fast changing governments and no way to make a living because of all the unrest.

At least the tribes in North America look healthy and have an education. I thought everyone in Africa has AIDS and unwanted starving children.

They were forbidden to teach their own languages to their children; many were forced to send their children to Indian boarding schools. The deplorable conditions imposed on these people by the US government came to national attention with the uprising at Wounded Knee in 1973. It's been uphill ever since. The white US government never kept its end of a treaty if white/powerful people were disadvantaged. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/mo/county/stlouis/native/badtreaty.htm If Native Americans have health/drinking problems and are dependent on welfare, much of it was caused by our own government. While it's been no picnic for Native Americans, I think it's worse for African tribes. In the Sudan, the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa tribes launched a rebellion in Darfur in 2003, the government struck back with blinding fury, killing 35,000 people and persecuting 2.5 million refugees. http://www.worldproutassembly.org/images/darfur_starving_girl.jpg In what is now Namibia (then it was German South-West Africa), 50-70% of the Herero and Namaqua tribes were wiped out. Aids has decimated populations in Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Don't you think this is worse than Native Americans learning to be self-sufficient again?
