Native American Analysis

Native Americans were marginalized by white people taking there kids away to schools. Captain Pratt said "Kill the Indian, save the man" which means kill the Indian part of them and save the human part. What Pratt was trying to accomplish was to transform Indians into white people by taking away the Indian part or them and forcing them to do things the white way.  By taking away the Indian part of them he was making them feel as though they didn't belong at the reservation anymore since they were not used to the Indian way of life anymore.
Shancie wants people to now how native Americans feel during there normal live. When she describes how she feel during school she seemed like she was left out when it comes to lunch food because her food was different then what other people were eating.

Personal Story

When I was at my old school I would try and talk to people but I would be treated like I was invisible. At one point my own friends decided to treated me like i was not there. Then finally my class got a new student and he was told to sit by me and we became friends. Later in the school year I heard my old friends talking to the new kid and they were telling him that I was a bad friend that i was just using him to get more friends and to get more food at lunch even though I didn't eat the school lunches. I finally fixed the problem by just holding it in for so long that I exploded and confronted my old friends and they just pushed me away and that just set me of even more and we just ended up getting into a fight with them. Eventually I won and I got into trouble for fighting but I got my friends back and the next day they told me that i hold stuff in to much and that i don't tell people and that is way I explode a lot.

Tolerence

Tolerence in my opinion is being able to block out what others say and do to you. Me personally I'm tolerant to what people do to me like when people throw stuff at me I just try to  ignore it the best I can even if that means letting them throw stuff at me. I learned one thing if you ignore them they will stop.
