Inspiration Blog 2
Earlier in the week while eating dinner with the family, my mom turned the channel to 20/20. Normally most of the stories on 20/20 hardly catch my interest but this one did. I being of Native American decent, have a strong opinion on the way they were treated. We all know the stories. Native Americans once reached from Canada to Mexico, and one the White man or the "New Man" came to what is now America everything changed. The Native Americans were a very peaceful graceful people, but we call them "Savages." you came to their land and didn't lay down and let you take it. Who really is the savage here? The 20/20 special was hosted by Diane Sawyer, who traveled to Pine Ridge Reservation. You can read the full work up here. " http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2011/10/diane-sawyer-reporting-a-hidden-america-children-of-the-plains-on-friday-october-14/ " A boy she interviewed was named "Robert Looks Twice" little does he know he is my future husband! Lol Robert is a 13 year old boy, his mother is an alcoholic, he is living with his grandmother in a tiny house. He inspired me the most out of the three interviewed, not just because he is beyond handsome but because of his dreams. Robert wants to be the First Native American president, which personally is ONLY right! I loved this story one of the best all year! I know when he becomes of age I will be voting for him. <3
