Native Americans

Native Americans were marginalized when Carlisle wanted to help the Indians but also get rid of what makes them Indians. In the article it says that Carlisle used this phrase "Kill the Indian, save the man." This shows how they were feeling that people don't really care about them because they're trying to change there culture. Also the parents were later forced to make there child go with Carlisle and before that it would be an option. This might have made them feel like they didn't really have control over there own children and that the whites were taking control over them.


Shanice wants people to know about her because she want people to know not all Indians are the stereo types. People mostly think that Indians wear the weird cloths and that they were feathers and live in tipis but actually they live in normal homes and wear normal cloths. Shanice even doesn't really mind telling people that they do wear the traditional cloths and stuff but only on special events.

  1. Carlisle is not a person - it is the name of the school. You mean Pratt. Yes, this is all very true, but your response could use a bit more detail.
