Their land is constantly decreasing. People had sufficient food, and because many have died of starvation. Reservations were not medical institutions, which also contributed to the decrease in the indigenous population. After a few decades the number of Indians was reduced by 60%. In order to prevent revolt, the tribes were divided. Very often in one reservation were Indians of different tribes. They spoke different languages and were forced to communicate in English. As a result, after a few generations the native language was forgotten.
