Hidden In Plain Sight: American Indians and the American Master Narrative

American Indians are often left out of the traditional American Narrative. Lisa Emmerich reveals the covering up of the dark history between Native Americans and Europeans. The lack of basic rights given to Native people continues to be a problem today. Emmerich explores the issue of voting rights in North Dakota, involving the requirement of a street address. She explains the issue this poses upon Native people, as they are unable to vote because of this. As guaranteed as we may think our rights are, Emmerich opens our eyes up to the reality for Native Americans in today’s society.
