> there is an ongoing effort to victim-blame Native Americans

For example, CNN's Rick Santorum:

> We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture.

The real curiosity is why corporate media allows such speech to be broadcast as if it was in any way truthful. Let's all forget that the US Constitution was based in part on the Iroquois Confederacy [1].

Santorum is on CNN's payroll. Who or whatever is supporting Santorum isn't stupid, likely it supports some revenue/marketing scheme. All of this is fully funded.
