Ms. Olsen's talk relates to "The Way to Rainy Mountain" by N. Scott Momaday because his grandmother and her were not treated that differently. Momaday's grandmother was told to stop being what she was-a native American- and Ms. Olsen was told to sop being who she was- a homosexual. Momaday's grandmother's Kiowa tribe had to leave where they were, and were not allowed to carry on traditions that have been held since their ancestors roamed the same land. Ms. Olsen was also treated horribly due to her sexuality, getting beaten up twice a week by the time she was a sophomore in high school. Overall, Native americans and homosexuals have been discriminated against just for being themselves, which I think is wrong and unjust.
