Ota And Shanice's Struggle

Ota and Shanice use their experiences and struggles to help their community in different ways, but they are similar as well. Ota uses his experience in boarding school involving destroying half of himself to grow that half of himself. In Would We Be Killed it says,”Captain Pratt never did manage to kill the indian within Luther Standing Bear. In some ways, you could say, he made that indian stronger.” Because of this experience he know runs a school at Pine Ridge Reservation. This shows that people learn more from traumatic experiences and help because of it more than helping because of a good experience
Shanice grew up on a reservation in California, living a similar life to our own. Shanice’s struggle is getting used to the world outside
