They treat them like they are so much different than all the other cultures in the United States, and don't get much representation. For example, restaurants. There are so many restaurants with Indian, Mexican, Chinese food, but not really Native American food.


In movies, cartoons, sports, and in education, Native Americans are perceived as these strong people who ride on horses and always carry guns or a protection device.
