Indians in the United States are faced with significant problems. Many Indians still live on reservations, in squalid shacks that don't even have indoor plumbing. The water there is often so contaminated that it is not fit for drinking. Mechanization has gradually eliminated many of the ranching and agricultural jobs formerly available to the Indians, and few industries have been set up on the reservations.

    In any case, most native Americans have had only very little schooling and remain untrained for skilled jobs. Among some tribes, the unemployment rate exceeds 50 percent, and about 80 percent of the people must rely on some form of government assistance. As groups of people with their own languages and cultures, each tribe wants to keep up its traditions and preserve some of its native customs. The adults want their children to be proud of being Indians, as well as to survive in the modern world. The young people on their part, want to enter the world they see every day on television and in the movies. Like everyone else, they are anxious to get a good education and a good job. However, they have little prospect for success and become very frustrated because they usually can only go to inferior schools and often find it impossible to adjust to present-day life. In addition, they feel they are discriminated against, and this makes them lose much of their confidence and pride. The most important problem American Indians have to tackle, many experts believe, is the restoring of their pride and self-confidence. And this is to be first and foremost if they are to change their destiny.

美洲印第安人依然面临着严重的问题。他们还是保留着野外生活。他们饮用的水还未消毒，因此也不利于他们的健康。机械机构以及工业产业也逐渐替代了以往的手工业与轻工业。一般情况下，美洲土族人没有太高的文化水平，也没有任何技巧。在许多部落当中，50%是无业游民，80%的人民依然要依赖政府的补贴。他们保留自己的语言与文化。印第安父母尽量让他们的子女于是个进步的印第安人而感到自豪。年轻的印第安人希望自己可以成为他们每天在电视上或电影院看到的文明社会。与其他人毫无差别，他们为是否能收到好的教育以及找份好的工作而感到担心。可是他们也有较好的前景，以前，他们只能进入下等的学校，也无法安排好自己的生活作息时间，加上他们觉得自己被别人歧视。这对他们的自信心与自尊心是重重的打击。许多专家认为，印第安人的首要任务是加强自信心和提高自尊心。这才是他们提高自己社会地位的有力途径。

印第安人面临着严重的问题。许多印度安人仍然住在保留地的破旧的的房子里。那里的水都是被污染的以至于都不能喝。机械化在大农场中逐渐消失，而农业工作主要是由印第安人来做。很少的工业在保留地建立。无论如何，许多印度安人都是受过很少教育的并且都是做些没有经过技术训练的工作。在那些孩子们中，失业率高达百分之50，其中有百分之80的人是靠政府救济来生活的。一群有着共同语言和文化的部落都希望保存自己的传统和保留自己的的习俗。大人们希望孩子们以自己是印度人而感到骄傲这样才能在现代社会挽救自己。年轻人通过收看电视电影来了解外面的世界。像每个人一样，他们同样希望接受良好的教育，找份好的工作。尽管如此，他们没有什么机会获得成功，他们经常受到挫败，因为他们上的都是低等学校。他们经常发现自己不能适应现代生活。以此同时，他们经常感到受歧视，这样使得他们的信心和骄傲都没了。专家们说印度安人需要解决的问题是重新找回自信和骄傲，这样做才能改变他们的命运。
