Some Native Americans do not like the term Native American. Explain why they reject this name. I think they rejected that name because maybe they don’t like to be different and they don’t want to be treated differently.

One person in the BBC Video said that living in poverty does not mean they are poor. What do you think he meant by that? I think he meant that poverty can mean different things and every way is different.

Some Native Americans approve of the team name Redskins. What is their reason for approving this name while others do not? To some people it might be cool how there named after a Native American tribe but others might think its rude and mean because there kinda making fun of them.

In the CNN segment, there was a story told about a woman who used to approve of the name Redskins, and now does not. What changed? Why does she no longer approve of the name? I think she doesn’t approve maybe because she thought that it is rude and mean. She thought it was being used against her.

How can non-Native people help others learn about Native Americans current issues? What can we do to help?    We can tell people that its not ok to be rude about there name.
