in the 1800's, the settlements in America started to expand westward, claiming the land that once belonged to the Indians that lived there. the government took almost all of their land until they finally started to revolt. the US had to give them some place to live, so they set up Indian reservations that are saved specifically for that purpose.
Because most were born and raised there, so it's all they have ever known or been. Leaving to another place so different, so big, would be so difficult and would cause alot of fear. Fear of confusing big cities filled with people of different races and not just your race, fear of racism because the nearest towns that you've been to outside of the reservation to go shopping or visit has contained alot of racist people who has shown it or said things, fear of a whole different government because your own tribal government wont be running things anymore, fear of life being harder since the reservation is helpful and things are easier when it comes to financial help, etc. Take away all of the traditions, the cultures, the family, the land, the language, the food, and all of this home sweet home stuff and it'll be the most unsafest, ugly feeling.
Fear usually keeps Native Americans back from leaving their own land and all of that. OR they choose to stay to help make a difference and try to help their people and reservation.
because they lack oppurtunity. if you grow up in poverty ,you most likely will live in poverty.
