We literally took their country from them, there's no way to paint that in a good light. I don't believe in reparations for anyone, but if I did, they would be the first in line for them. Any other group you can say "if you don't like it you're free to go back to your ancestors country", Native American's don't have that option.
Yes, they should work to better themselves of course, but I'm good with helping them.
It also helps that they aren't actively trying to start a communist revolution.
They never had a "country" to take. There was zero government. They had no technology. It was a bunch of cavemen squatting on unfathomable tracts of land that civilization could put to much better use.
Native Americans are the one group I would be really in favor of doing everything we can to help.

They were conquered, that's how it goes and always has throughout history.
doesn't change anything.
