Native American
You are a 24 year old member of the Sioux tribe. You were adopted by a white family who taught you to read and write and took the time to provide me with an education. Although you are familiar with American culture, you still feel connected with your Sioux heritage and the Wounded Knee massacre is fresh in your mind. You have come to Chicago to see the the 1893 World's Fair.
