4 Native American Poverty, by Tom Rodgers - A Challenge Too Often IgnoredThe time for action is long past due. Native Americans were the very last to be granted the right to vote, and were therefore too long treated as second-class citizens. Now there are those who seek to treat Native American governments as second-class sovereigns. They seek to accomplish this by not availing them of the same tools for self-reliance and recognition afforded to state and local governments. The issue of poverty is an integral first step. Poverty is both the cause and the consequence of all the ills visited upon Native Americans. Failure to address poverty causes deprivation and hardship in these communities today, and robs the next generation of any opportunity to succeed and thrive tomorrow. The invisibility, silence, and neglect must end. As President-elect Barack Obama ascends to the White House, now is the significant moment to address the many problems Native Americans endure, including systemic poverty. 4) Read the article Native American Poverty by Tom Rogers. 5) Circle which style is used in Native American Poverty : Narrative Descriptive Expository Persuasive Argumentative 6) How does this style help shape the authors purpose or point of view? List at least two examples. 7) How is the style of this article different than the first passage? How is each suited better for their purpose? Barack Obamaʼs election symbolizes Americaʼs progress in healing the racial wounds that scar our history. A new commitment to Native Americans will continue that process. His pledge to reduce poverty in America should extend to the Native American communities that feel poverty most acutely, and that have been relegated to the shadows of our society for far too long. Advocates, legislators and the new president must put Native Americans on the national agenda. Including Native Americans in our vision of a better America is an indispensable part of the "change we need." Tom Rodgers is the president of Carlyle Consulting of Alexandria, Virginia. A Blackfoot tribal member, he advocates on behalf of Native American tribal governments and their people. He was previously a congressional staffer for Senator Max Baucus.

5 LEARNING TARGET 3C: I can DIRECTIONS: Highlight a minimum of three words or phrases. After you highlight, please write a minimum of one sentence describing how that specific example in text is powerful, persuasive, or beautiful
