Help them with what? Native Americans get paid by the feds for doing no work at all as compensation for what settlers did to them during colonization. They get free higher education, a stipend which is I think 2,000 USD a month. There are some natives who actually make a million a year from the state and feds.

Why are the natives in America called Native-Americans when their civilization existed long before Europeans arrived to claim the continent?
Because they were natives to the American Continent. To the best of anyone's knowledge there was no native name for the country or continent. What would you suggest? Answer: This is actually a great question. Native American is just another form of political correctness. Native peoples are split on this. Some prefer Native American. Others prefer American Indian while still others feel Indian is just fine. Most refer to themselves as a member of their tribe anyway...ie..Mohegan, Tuscarora, Teton, etc. APEX a long-running pattern of whites removing Native Americans from their land, their lifestyle, and killing them.
Should you say Native American or American Indian?
There is no "one set" of acceptable definitions and every person will have arguments against both of those sayings as well as "Indigenous American" or "Indigenous People" as such any of these terms when used respectfully does not cause a problem. Be aware though that certain other colloquial terms can get you in trouble (Redman, Skin, Buck, Squaw, Chief, and combo's of those, etc.)

How and why did the federal government encourage native Americans to assimilate?
The federal government made laws forcing Native Americans to learn English and speak only English. They trained Native American wives to be good and proper English housewives. They provided money and compliments for those who learned quickly and adjusted to the American ways. The American government did this because the American Government was against anyone being different than them. They wanted everyone to be the same as them because they were the "elite" people.
Why are Native American Indians called Indians while there are Indians in Asia?
Why Native Americans are Called IndiansThe term Indian is generally used for people originating from the country of India in Asia. However the Native American Indians have no link with Asia whatsoever. It was Christopher Columbus who headed out on a voyage to South Asia but landed up on America instead and coined the name Indians for the local people. This apparent mistake was soon realized but the name coined by Christopher Columbus remained.With the passage of time there has been an attempt to develop a sounder name for the original inhabitants of America as they have no link whatsoever with India. This is the reason why you find them being referred to as Native Americans in recent times. However there is a problem with this name too because generally anyone born in America is a Native American. Hence the name Native American Indians remain.Today the Native American Indians have developed quite a unique relationship with the United States of America. They have retained their tribal and nation structures in part and are also part of the official government of the United States. Their culture still flourishes and has in fact received mass exposure with the advancement in technology. They have also come to be featured in silver screen flicks and television programs.

Is it true that anyone who claims Indian heritage can receive land from the US government?
No, but that is certainly another internet myth. It's not true that "anyone" can get free land just by claiming Indian (Native American) heritage. Such claims must be verified, first of all, and even if the claim is true, there is no guarantee that you will be given free land; you will perhaps be able to live with your people on a reservation, if you choose to, and there are certain tax breaks that are given to minority owned businesses. I enclose a link to the American Indian College Fund, which explains the facts about some common myths like the one you mentioned.

Does anyone know the specific law prohibiting a repossession off of an Indian Reservation without a replevin or voluntary arrangement?
A vehicle belonging to a Native American who resides on a reservation cannot be repossessed if 60% or more has been paid on the balance of the loan. Relinquishment or repossesson of any property belonging to a NA on reservation land, has to be voluntarily submitted in written form by the purchaser or by an order from the Tribal Court. Tribal Codes will vary slightly, but the basic codes apply on all NA reservations. See link to this answer page www.tribalresourcecenter.org
If you're one-quarter Indian does that make you one?
According to Red Wolf, a native American, "MORE THAN 20 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ARE OF NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN MIXED BLOOD. IF YOU HAVE ONE DROP OF INDIAN BLOOD, YOU ARE INDIAN. WALK THE INDIAN PATH AS YOUR HEART FEELS". Don't forget all the Indians in Asian India. Whether you are a member of a particular ethnic group if you have one parent from that group, one grandparent, one great-grandparent, or "one drop of blood" (an obsolete and racist way of saying "any ancestry no matter how small") is a matter of how you and the culture you live in looks at things. There is no universal agreement on this point. In the days of American segregation, having a great-great-grandparent who was black would make you black - as long as your skin was also dark. The Nazis held that anyone was Jewish if they had one grandparent who was Jewish. Advocates for Native Americans, who want to preserve Native identity in the face of widespread intermarriage with descendants of Europeans over the centuries, will say that anyone with any native ancestry is a native American - thus leaving it to the individual to discover and assert that connection. On the other hand, US government criteria for recognizing a Native American for purposes of receiving government benefits is more restrictive.
