However, American Indians’ current life is rather sad and miserable. Human rights are not offered equally to them. They are still restrained to live in pieces of reserved lands. Furthermore, their culture is dying out. Therefore, the causes of American Indians’ current life are worth studying. In recent years, scholars all over the world have paid great attention to the study of American Indians’ current life, human rights, and so on. Thus, this thesis firstly introduces some brief background information about American Indians’ way of life, customs, culture, language and so on. Next, this paper gives facts about the sad and miserable life that they are having now.

The aim of this paper is to find the reasons why a civilization died off through history and give some inspirations for the development of a nation.
