Final answer:
American citizens' inaction regarding helping American Indians could be due to lack of publicized information, preoccupation with other affairs, or a belief that their help is not desired. However, some Americans have indeed taken steps to address these issues.
Step-by-step explanation:
You asked why American citizens have done nothing to help the American Indians. While it's a complex issue with no single answer, I can provide some possible inferences:
- (b) The treatment of the Indians has been documented but not publicized widely, so the general public may not be aware of the extent of the issues.
- (c) People are often preoccupied with their own lives and many other affairs, which might make them unaware or unable to help.
- (d) The sentiment that the Indians do not care for their help might stem from a history of mistrust and miscommunication between the groups.
It's also worth mentioning that while many Americans may not have taken action, there have indeed been some who have worked to improve conditions or raise awareness of the issues facing American Indians.
