to all the native americans...?

Question

hi, im an indian kid, and all the time, i feel as if im alone when it comes to race. me and my sister are the only native americans in the whole 8th grade! heck! the only in the school=( i feel sad because i feel alone. any one else feel that way also?

Answer 1

I grew up in a huge city and was raised by parents who didn't hold the traditions of my ancestors. So for me it was harder living without knowing a part of myself and missing this big part of my culture. Still hurts sometimes.

Everybody's gonna feel alone for some reason or other in life, and I guess it's just something we have to deal with. Just try not to let it get to you! Be proud of who you are and show others that you're proud.

I hope it gets easier and I hope you feel better!
