Usually, when this country is performing a racial sociopolitical analysis, Native American/Indigenous/First Nation people are left out of the examination. That's intentional.
The country doesn't want the general public to know, for example, that of all races in the U.S., Native American/Indigenous/First Nation people are most likely to a. be killed by state agents, b. be victims of sexual assault, c. be victims of violence, d. be kidnapped, etc.
I read a report the other day about something, I can't even remember what it was, but I do remember that it ended with a line that was something like, "The study did not look at the impact on Native Americans." And I thought, WTAF? Complete, intentional, determined erasure."
