Put yourself in this person's position. What is happening to your country and how does it affect you and your family and your culture? What do you want to change? How would you like things to be?
Use emotion and concrete examples - those make for a powerful poem.

Perspective means that you have to put yourself in the shoes of the native american concerned about imperialism.
