Analysis of To be seen but not heard



To be seen not heard. We as a people are not heard Evan indians are people. We are not heard Evan though we are of this land. We were civilized before the whites. But we were treated as savages that had to be reducated taken to schools raped murdered. No honors recorded just many graves in a graveyard. Silence of grave say no words but gives great sorrow to heard . A priest commits a sin and none say it but the hurt done to a child is still a sin. To be seen not heard.
