what happened to the native american people in the US?

I mean how come the rest of the americas have some percent of natives still living in their lands. Why did the British and americans killed them all. I think they should have let them live you know like they did with black people. Were they mercenaries or what well I think they were bullies, how would you feel if somebody killed all you people by an idea called manifest destiny. Well i would feel very pissed off. Ever since I came to the US i've never seen a native american person. I've only seen white and black people.

depends where you are. some areas have a bigher population of natives than others.
and to ed...please. you can not be that ignorant. just because america got the land from other europeans who stole the land from natives does not mean this wasn't ALL native land to begin with! who gave the "louisiana purchase" lands to the french?? who gave mexico to the spaniards??

damn some of you have really short attention spans.
