what did native americans have to deal with?
Ms. Sue
They had to deal with everything that the rest of us deal with -- food, shelter, clothing, child care, elderly care, etc. They also had to deal with hostile whites.

Various natives in what we now call the US had to deal with other native tribes/nations as well as European immigrants after different European explorers and others discovered this whole continent!

Ms. Sue meant the Europeans (invaders, if you think about it) as the whites.
