For what? The problem of poor statistical outcomes among natives is due to them living out in isolated and economically unsupported reserves. Put a bunch of blondes out there and they'd fare no better. Particularly with the awful and divided leadership they have and the incredibly paternalistic way government treats them and their problems.
I can't disagree. If natives on reserves want to maintain a pre-industrial way of life by hunting and fishing and whatever other subsistence tasks in the middle of nowhere where centers of capitalism and modern industry are thriving in cities far away from them then natives will continue to maintain pre-industrial standards of living. Pre-Columbian indigenous ways of life shouldn't be too romanticized, because malnutrition, famine, disease, infant mortality, war, murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing, torture,
**** etc. were common. Life was brutal & unforgiving. Many groups scalped humans alive for pete's sake!
The one thing natives did was move around a lot depending on where changing resources were. They didn't stay stuck on reserves when resources weren't very good, they traveled to where they would best thrive. They should now move to a small town/city where they can get an education and a job. Give each of them a decent payout & a free education so they can get started more easily & let them be on their way. Capitalism is the greatest social program in human history, it's lifted billions out of poverty & provided an incredible standard of living compared to centuries ago. It's been 500 years & whitey ain't gonna help you much or give your land back so go help yourself, the infinite opportunities are all over this country staring you in the face.
