The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The effects of prejudice on Native Americans are considerable. It makes them feel like second-class citizens in our country.

Of course, prejudice against native Americans continues to exist today.

Two factors, stereotypes and prejudice are still impacting the idea of who Native American people are and how they behave. For any reason, there is this negative belief in society that Native American people are still living in Teepees, like if it were the 1700s-1800s, riding horses and wearing ceremonial dresses and hats all the time.

The reality is quite the opposite. Native American Indian people are hard-working people, dedicated to maintaining their traditions and culture, while working in businesses, shops, hotels, services, trying to be productive and supporting their families, while being respectful to the United States laws and principles.
