"Sleeping Americans"

​... Analyzing Tommy Orange's There There

Orange is not only talking about Americans sleeping during the Indian Head test pattern, he want reader to ask:

• Why did American's continue to sleep, generation after generation while America's Indigenous people's were slaughtered, their head flown as flags, forced to relocate to reservations, removed from homes as children into military boarding schools, uprooted from reservations into urban cities, and finally terminated. 
• Why do Americans hold Indians in the past, without the opportunity to be accepted differently in the present or future?
