American Indians And Racism

<p>I went up to Wisconsin for a job in a town near the Menominee reservation. My Supervisor, who was white, told me I may have problems because I looked like an Indian. I did have problems but I didn&rsquo;t realize it until years later.</p> <h2>The Crew</h2> <p>We were a crew of about ten people. Most were white but there were two people from the Menominee Reservation. I became good friends with one of them. Some of us worked together for a few years.</p> <h2>Life Long Friends</h2> <p>I became friends with one guy on the crew. He was an ironworker who was laid off when he was hired to work on an archaeology project where I met him. Some of the college-educated people looked down on him because he was an Indian and a blue-collar worker.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@wpwb58/american-indians-and-racism-e9c7e450793a"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
