In the story "Borders" , I learned that they were Native Indian tribes that were living there but if you wanted to cross the border you either had to be American or Canadian . I also learned that in Canada , the Indian Tribe people had to be Canadian and that they cannot be called by their tribe . Also, the Indian People were in small reserves because they were unlikely to blend into the "civilization" . But , in this story , a mom (who was Blackfoot a Indian Tribe) was trying to visit her daughter who lived in Salt Lake City . But by the canadian border , the security didn't want to let her through because she kept on saying she was Blackfoot and not American or Canadian .
My ethnicity is more important to me than my nationality because that is who i am and that is what i am born with . Nationality comes from where you live or what region or country you are from but your ethnicity is passed to do from generation to generation .

I agree with you on your journal that ethnicity is more important than nationality because it is who we are and what we are belonging to. We always a part of our ethnic no matter where we are.
