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.
