Forget your traditions and your ancestral lifestyle.
America will turn you into a human zoo, a disneyland of pollution, where dumb and noisy American tourists will disgorge by the tens of thousands from their mega-cruiseships and destroy your life.
As indigenous Inuits, you will be lumped by racist dumb Americans into the Chinese alien box, and therefore the "new enemy."
Like they've done with many non-White indigenous populations, they'll herd you into reservations and get you addicted to alcohol and drugs. Yes, they will sign treaties but they won't honor them. They would want to build their Las Vegas-like cheap glitter, casinos and hotels everywhere, right in your towns and villages. You'll say no at first, of course, but then they'll say you're anti-free market and must move out to the fancy reservations they'll set up for you, sort of glorified concentration camps for people who look different.
Beware the siren song of the American dream. It will be your irreversible nightmare. Check other places around the world where Americans have taken over: Pacific islands turned into a dumping site for radioactive waste. Puerto Rico living on in limbo as a possession without much in terms of rights, not to mention the racism. Cuba has escaped the shiny American nightmare by standing up to colonialism. It may poor but it has retained dignity and sovereignty. US army bases in occupied Germany: Soldiers are told not to mingle with the locals and to buy stuff only from Army stores on the base. Hawaii lost its soul when it was forced into the union. In Okinawa, Japan, recurrent problems with US soldiers raping the local women. Granted that Japan and Germany were the enemy, but you are not the enemy. Yet, they will treat you as one.
