Why "Racism: Native American"...?

Hi, everybody! I'm Jillian and I chose to blog about racism toward Native Americans because I actually am Native American. I'm about 25% Mohawk and my grandmother grew up on the Native American reservation at Akwesasne, which is on the border of New York and Canada.  So although I have never experienced racism first-hand, it is  an issue I think needs to be addressed. That's why I chose to research this topic further in sociology.
