This blog is dedicated to the experiences that Native Americans have in the classroom and work setting. The negativity and overall "different-ness" that often comes with being Native American affects people in different ways. These are their stories.

The Confronted
"I went to High School off-reservation and that was a new experience for me. It was around thanksgiving time, one of the people sitting next to me asked me about what I did for Thanksgiving. I didn't really understand what he was asking. He asked if I celebrated it because I was Native American. I told him of course I did, he then asked me how did I celebrate it. By this time some of the people surrounding us, turned around and were listening to our conversation. I really didn't know how to answer all of the questions he had but lucky for the teacher told us all to be quiet and I didn't have to."
