![["The writer discusses the complexities of Native American identity and the impact of government policies such as allotment. He shares personal experiences and observations of Native American individuals who struggled with adapting to white man's ways. The writer emphasizes that Native Americans are not a super-race and are subject to the same frailties as all mankind.
