Are the American natives doomed?

Are the American natives doomed?

Culturally yes.
Racially no.

Culturally I'd say they're already gone. The only ones who still do anything pre-colombian are in the Pacific Northwest, and even then its mostly just larping to get money from white people; selling totem poles and Chilcat blankets and such.

There are american indians left?

There are a few remote Alaskan Native groups that are still doing what they have always done for the most part (just now with snow machines and rifles).

Why can't natives adopt modernity without abandoning their culture?

Yes. They're a criminally stupid group of people.

Because that's impossible, when your entire culture is built on tenants of what amounts to the modern survivalist movement you're going to be isolated from the mainstream
