I currently live on a native American property 55 km or about 35 miles away from Russia. We are closer to Russia than to mainland Alaska. I hesitate to call it a reservation because under Alaskan law, it’s not considered a reservation because it is privately owned by the natives cooperation. I am a teacher on this island.

Another important factor of US-Indigenous history to mention is the boarding school system. For around a century, indigenous children were forced to go to boarding schools where the US attempted to forcibly eradicate all aspects of Indigenous cultures. There was a lot of abuse and neglect, a lot of kids died. This era is why so many languages have so few speakers and also why so many Indigenous communities struggle with inter generational trauma

I lived and worked in the Chickasaw Nation for years. During the initial covid times, the casino I worked at had to close for almost two months. In spite of them being closed, they didn’t lay anybody off and I kept still got paid, including getting 80% of what the average tip pool was. Consider my hourly pay was almost entirely consumed by taxes, tips were almost my entire income.

The Hopi trying to reclaim land from the Navajo Reservation has been a long legal battle for over half a century now, so I'm glad it got mentioned. And interestingly the ancient Apache-Navajo started their migration from Upper White River region of Alaska following a volcanic eruption from Mount Churchill.

As a fellow Californian, I'm surprised you didn't mentioned the mission system. yeah, it was under the Spanish (and later Mexican) government, but it still had HUGE impact: many Californian tribes aren't federally recognized, and many Californians actually protested when father Junipero was sainted! the history of native suffering under the mission is a big, sad part of our state history!
