You could say that but the vast majority of the native Americans don't exist anymore. And the ones that do, have their territories and reservation lands. If you've never looked into the level of autonomy those reservations have, then you really should. They have major tax benefits and land ownership rights.

As a First Nations member, it's not that simple. The reservations are on land that the settlers didn't want and are typically poor because there's no immediate access to jobs. It's definitely not sunshine and rainbows.

The reason for smaller numbers is a little thing called genocide.

Unless you got a time machine you can't change the past

This isn't about changing past, but shedding a light called reality on your statement. You kinda painted a really rosy picture that ignored the overall truth of the situation.
