My general reaction to "Where I Come From is like This" was that as a girl she was raised with values of an American, but her mom wanted to make sure that she still understood the values of Native American women. I feel that she was also conflicted because the Anglo-Europeans and the Native American views were so different.

It also relates to me as a human because being a women I am still accepted into society at any point in time. I do not know how I would feel if I were shunned away once a month just for being a women. It also relates to my religion because according to it, women are considered unclean during menstruation. But as an american's and a modern society we do not believe this anymore.
