Native Americans were marginalized because in the story it says that Ota Kte's father was tricked by captain Pratt. Native Americans were being treated badly. In the article it says, " he also planned to "civilize" them to strip them of their traditions and ways of life." This proves that Native Americans were treated badly. Another thing is that the Native Americans were not allowed to keep their native name they had to change their name to an American name. I know this because in the article it says " Ota Kte was given the name of Luther and for his last name it was Standing Bear." His name meant a lot it mean plenty kills and it also meant "savage". this means that Ota Kte was a different person.
the purpose of Shanice telling this story is because she wanted people to know how she lived and what she did for fun and how hard she works in her life to do good and try not to get bored and she wanted people to know how smart she is. I know this because in the Article it says " I go fishing and i am really good all i do is poke the water with a pitch fork and then we get lots of fish" and this proves that she is really good at fishing and she knows what she does Another thing that it says in the Article is" the thing around my horses face is to get flies out of it's eyes and so it don't get hurt" and this proves that the thing on the horse is supposed to keep the horses eyes safe and so they don't get hurt.
