Would we be killed assessment

American Indians were marginalized because the indian kids were taken away from their families and the white people made them look different from when they were with their own families. According to paragraph five in the magazine it says, "White people have been bringing harm to Ota Kte's people for longer than Ota Kte had been alive". That must mean the white people have been treating them bad for a while and they never did anything about it and it was still happening longer too. They were also marginalized because the white people made the indians put on white people clothes and make them do stuff they do also. According to the magazine it says, " It was not Pratt's plan to simply educate these children and teach them english. He also planned to civilize them to strip them of their traditions and ways of life".



Shanice Britton shared her story about how she is just a teenager doing teenage things but then again she is Indian. According to the passage it says," We live in houses with electricity and running water. I take showers, watch Finding carter on MTV, and wear jeans, just like any other teens". She also grew up in a Round Valley Indian reservation in Covelo, California. I think the part of her to share her story like this is that everyone is the same person and no one should be treated the way they don't want to. Even though she is Indian she does what every other person does and what other people wear too.
