Huyser, Kimberly R., Arthur Sakamoto, and Isao Takei. "The persistence of racial disadvantage: The socioeconomic attainments of single-race and multi-race Native Americans." Population Research and Policy Review 29.4 (2010): 541-568.
In the Persistence to racial disadvantage, the authors try to unravel the unfortunate truth of the disparity in the schooling and earning of races and gender in the United States of America. Based on the findings of the research, the disparity results in significant socioeconomic attainment variation across the native groups. Notable differential variations were also established by the ethnic/racial type of gender and the Native American groups.
The information portrayed in the publication cannot be authenticated. Though it provides a detailed evaluation of the effects of disparity regarding schooling and earning along gender and racial perceptions, the basis of the argument is not in relation to any fact. Lack of references and data to show how the authors came into a conclusion questions the credibility of the contained information.

The unknown author of the article provides a synopsis of the enslavement of the Native Americans. In a quest to for sovereign status, the descendants of Genizaro vowed to ensure the eradication of the slavery that mostly affected.
