By looking through sources, recounts and information we can mould our narrow ideas and preconceptions to be considerate, understand the horror and respond better towards our indigenous people.

During the summer of 2012, I thought, “What am I doing with my life?” I was cleaning houses and taking care of the elderly. I suddenly realized that my girls were older and my son was in kindergarten; it’s the perfect opportunity for me to accomplish my dream.

“The Greatest Generation” is a term used to describe the generation who were the children of the Great Depression and who became the adults of the Second World War (Brokaw).

Being a first generation college student has had its fair share of challenges. Both my mother and father, received their high school diplomas, but that was the extent of their educational careers.

Also, due to the government forcing them to live differently, their old tradition ways would be forgotten.
