Character Analysis: Dreaming In Indian

Each person has a story. Places they’ve been, their experiences, and culture. In the book Dreaming in Indian, the authors have taken a collection of stories and put them into this book to display the Native American voices that these stories demonstrate. For example, in the book the author writes about a model named Ashley Callingbull who displays her culture through the clothing she received from generations past. Her voice is unique because it shows that she is proud of where she comes from and that she probably wouldn’t change herself because someone told her too. Especially in this world where stereotypes are strictly common. Another example where this theme is displayed is a poem in this book where a girl named Karina Rain Dominguez
explains her life story through a poem she wrote, about the reality of life and especially what she had to go through. From the examples, I have given it shows how certain people dealt with everything they had to go through. I would say that the Native American life, in general, is very non-promising. You may not know what you are going to get and go through. Many struggle with stereotypes, gender identity, addiction, and other things.
