Native American


Being a Native American young girl or woman, is complicated to explain, Growing up you are taught that cooking, is your job just like raising kids. Coming from a home of one older sister and one younger sister and one older brother is terrific Living with both of your parents is very rare in most Native American homes. We struggle to stay afloat in the economy With both of my parents and brother and sister working, its up to me to see that the house remains clean. that the yard work is down, bundry, and that i get dinner ready. But i see that as a blessing because no matter what Indian Women are strong and powerful. we can with stand what is thrown our way. We are the backbone of our nation. If we can with stand that, we can also succeed and better ourselves but sometimes we hold ourselves back from it. We give the people what they want. So how do we change that. Stand up and push ourselves to accomplish more.
