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 Stranger
"Well when I first moved out to Orlando and began working on the construction sites, most of the people working these jobs are Mexican and me being a full blooded native with a nice brown complexion everyone one thought I was Mexican as well. So when ever I met someone on the work site, or even off the work site, they would try and speak to me in Spanish. So I would have to explain to then that I did not speak Spanish and why I did not know Spanish, which sometimes could be a little difficult because they did not speak very well or speak at all english. And during lunches I would feel left out because they would be talking and laughing with each others and I had no idea what was being said."
