Yes because we pretty much killed them all, took their land and shoved the survivors onto reservations, by gunpoint. Assimilation with white society was extremely discouraged.
Interesting fact. Hitlers inspiration for the holocaust came from studying American history.
Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America's extermination—by starvation and uneven combat—of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.
Ironically with this Hitler displays a greater understanding of how we treated Native Americans than do most of our citizens and students.
