Day 53 (D-8) Native Americans Seek to Raise Awareness of their History, from VOA News

I'll let the Native Americans give you this post.
VOA News has two interesting reports.  The first video has subtitles, so you can listen and read. (November 24, 2017)

Here you have it with subtitles to help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqujKrMFLVM 

I hope you can find time to watch/listen to/read this second one:
https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/report-americans-know-little-about-native-americans/4517203.html

where you'll hear/read:


"A recent report confirms what Native Americans have always known: Most people in the United States know little, if anything, about American Indians. And what they do know is based on questionable information spread by traditional media...."
The report also confirms that:
 "Native Americans are largely invisible in modern society;
• Non-Native media controls news about Native Americans;
• Stories about Native Americans deal mainly with their problems, not strengths;
• Stereotypes affect law, policy and decision-making;
• Politicians do not understand tribal rights or U.S. treaty requirements."

My best,
Jane
