Wind- Wolf
This is very similar to what we were talking about in the classroom, about the different cultures and how they related to each other. In Delphit white and black students were different because they were raised in different cultures. Wind-Wolf was raised in his country, India so he learned others things that are not part of whites student, and others thought that he wasn't capable enough to be in school, only because he was quiet and seems stupid or slow, but it was because of the different environment. Is a huge change from one culture to another and he was used to his culture in India and that was the only one he knew until they brought him to this white school. People that come from other countries, even myself feel just like Wind-Wolf. When I came to this country it was really hard for me to get used to the school, classrooms, students, professors and the way they teach, it was totally different from my country and I had no friends, it was like a new world for me. I was quite and seem stupid just like Wind-Wolf, but it was only because of the different culture and environment, after a while I was comfortable and feel like I fit.

Ana, I like how you compare your experience with Wind-Wolf's (he is Native-American). Did your teachers, or some or one teacher facilitate your learning or becoming "fluent" in the culture of power? What did they do? What could you do to help Wind-Wolf were you his teacher?
