=Native Americans= The reservation life of Native Americans would be considered a civil rights issue, because the Native Americans were deprived of their rights. They were moved from place to place and it wasn't fair for them to keep moving. For example the Nez Percé tribe had about half of their reservation taken away. Their reservation was in Idaho and Oregon, but the government took away the part of their tribe in Idaho so they only had Oregon. That is the reason it is a civil rights issue, because when you get your rights taken away you are being treated unfair and because they can't stay in one place without the government moving them around. Also the government is pretty much killing their culture and their people.

Native Americans have been mis treated for hundreds of years. Native American tribes have been thrown out of their homes and driven away. Their culture is different than the us and their ways of living are also different. Their culture and ways of living were destroyed as the white man took over the land. The Native Americans were hunted and chased by the new white man. Also the Nez Percé, they were moved of their land and made to walk great distance in the winter with little supplies. That was an example of how the Natives were mis treated. Natives are now used for ads for select things like cigars and casinos.
