[12:02.67]American Indians
[12:04.72]American Indians are the native people in the United States.
[12:09.76]They belong to more than five hundred Indian tribes.
[12:13.74]Many tribe members live on reservations.
[12:17.16]These are areas that the United States government set up for native tribes
[12:22.89]that had lost their lands to European settlers.
[12:26.12]Some reservations are larger than American states.
[12:30.29]The Bureau of Indian Affairs supervises these territories.
[12:35.14]Tribes on reservations have limited self-rule.
[12:39.19]Generally, American Indians do not enjoy the same economic and educational success as other Americans.
[12:47.60]They earn less money and have more unemployment than other Americans.
[12:52.39]They also have higher rates of disease
[12:55.32]and die younger than other American groups.
[12:58.18]However, the American Indian economy has grown at three times the national rate since the 1980s.
[13:06.45]Some of the improvement has come from expansion of the American Indian gambling industry.
[13:12.74]Many Indian tribes have legalized gambling on their reservations.
