The residents of the Louisiana territory were few white American settlers and many Native American Indian tribes. Let's have in mind that the Louisiana territory in those years of the purchase was an immense portion of land. It included 15 modern US states such as Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and some parts of other states.

So white residents that had been settled there had no difficult issue to become residents. However, Native American Indians did oppose to the idea of losing their own Indian identity.

native americans suffered high rates of poverty and unemployment.

during the late 1960s and early 1970sthe need for political militancy grew among the native americans. throughout the 1960s, they had been the nation's poorest minority group, the most deprived group, according to practically every socioeconomic measure. in 1970, the indian unemployment rate was 10 times the national average, and 40 percent of the native american people were below the poverty line.
