Lakota Boy’s Dream: Become First Native American President Twelve-year-old Robert Looks Twice appears to be the quintessential all-American boy. He is the quarterback of his school’s football team, student council president and one of the top students in his class. But he hasn’t forgotten his Lakota Sioux roots. We are told his last name “Looks Twice” came about because his ancestors were cautious and always took a second look. Robert lives in a trailer with his grandmother, uncle and eight other cousins. This kind of poverty is typical of the reservation. “I want to be the first Native American President,” Robert told Diane Sawyer. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian Storia Teaching Guide | Scholastic.com Book Summary Arnold, aka Junior, introduces his hardscrabble life on the Spokane Indian reservation in the first chapter called The Black-Eye-of-the-Month Club.

To unravel how these narratives impact Native communities — and what needs to be done to reclaim them — Mic spoke to three indigenous media makers: actress and poet MorningStar Angeline, who is Shoshoni, Blackfoot, Nez Perce, and Chippewa Cree; writer and photographer Jason Morgan Edwards, who is of African and Seminole descent; and Apsáalooke fashion designer Bethany Yellowtail. Below are the stories they've said need to be told about Natives in the media today — and most importantly, told by Natives themselves: 1. Native Americans are diverse.
