__** Date of Birth: **__ August 5, 1787(23 years old) __** Gender :**__ Female __** Race: **__ Native American (Cherokee) __** Political Views ** : __ I would vote for Thomas Jefferson because he respects Native Americans and isn't going to force us to be under the United States government. __**Political Views on Current Issues:**__ __** 19th Century Reform Movement: **__ I can't believe that the blind, deaf, mute, and mentally ill were put in prison or beaten to "beat the craziness" out of them. Sometimes White people do the most stupid things ever! To think the priests have come and talked about the mentally ill as if they are monsters. How is that Christian? I am totally for any type of reform for the mentally ill.

 * ** Native American Removal- ** I feel so depressed, upset, and betrayed. Those stupid white men believe we're savages when THEY are the REAL savages. Thanks to them my father, my mother, Ashwin, and Chetan are dead! Now Chandarika is the only person/thing I have to care for and love for. To also strip us of our land as well! One day we will rebel and those stupid white people will die!
 * **Fugitive Slave Act-** I am against this act because it is wrong to enslave innocent people for whatever reason. I personally have experienced the horrible things that those white people have done. I can only imagine what they are doing to the Blacks. It must be a living a nightmare to be beaten everyday and forced to work for nothing. I have read parts of slave narratives and what these people say are horrific! Not only that, but now even more whites are coming into our "homes" that we were moved to! I can't wait until this is over with and I can make a family that will prosper.
 * ** ﻿Civil War- ** Those white men never can enjoy peace! Why can't they just solve their problems in a short discusion?
 * __Favorite Activities and Interests__** : I enjoy making maple syrup and quilts, husking corn, and playing hide and go seek with my sisters and brother.
