Instead of addressing this from the perspective of “crime” I feel like the only way to adequately respond to this situation is for the United States of America to accept responsibility for the ongoing genocide of Native American civilization. By doing so the inherent value of Native Americans will be established, being equal to other human beings, and these problems will naturally receive the attention and resources they deserve.
