One of the problems is that they have been treated by crap by their own when trying to come in. As trendy as it is (and not saying you are saying this) to crap on the white man for pushing them out as many have said on here before there is a lot of backlash from their own community for "selling out" and trying to make something of themselves.
Sure mainstream society deserves some blame but until the Native community starts valuing education, productivity and self-subsistance I don't think much will change as these kids are being brought up to think that the lazy way of life is the way to go.
