The history of native Americans — or American Indians — is unique, tragic and at the same time full of optimism. It is unique because the Indians were the original inhabitants of the American continent, and experienced all the stages of its colonization by Europeans, beginning with the first colonies in the 17th century and ending with the completion of the development of the Western borders by the end of the 19th century. It's tragic because the conflict between the Indians and the white population is a repetition of the experience of other Nations, traditions which came into conflict with the expanding industrialized society. This story at the same time full of optimism, because the native Americans, although they were deprived in the 19th century much of their ancestral lands, have survived, they managed to establish themselves in their political and economic rights, they have retained their national identity and culture despite the invasion of modern civilization. Wisconsin children of Chippewa Indians learn the language of their ancestors with the help of computers. One of the parents of the guys says: "it is important For them to learn the language, ojibway to understand the spiritual aspects of our religion." In our days native Americans are equal citizens of the United States that are proud that they are Americans. However, they are no less proud of their own cultural heritage, and, as it is difficult in the modern world, trying to protect and save it.
