In the 1950S, the US Government’s assimilation policies isolated Native Americans from their communities. Many of them were relocated from their land into urban areas. Orphans were placed into the homes of white families.Chah-tah Gould is one of few1 Ohlone tribal members left.The Ohlone went nearly extinct after generations of slavery and colonization by Spain, Mexico, and the US. “Today, a lot of city Natives grow up in foster care and get into gangs. On reservations, they grow up around their culture. But here, you know, to be cool, you start drinking and smoking, all this other stuff2,” Chah-tah says. “Out here you have to deal with the American-type life: taxes, jobs, everything like that.”Today, many Native Americans live off-reservation, in urban environments. Poverty remains one of the most challenging3 aspects to contemporary urban Indian life. However many centers and programs help them to stay in the Native community and a lot of Natives do know their culture and even the ones who are into gangs, still go to pow wows.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's such a pleasure to meet you!
I would like to present my amazing food truck project: I want to open a breakfast food truck. I think it's such a great idea! People are always hungry in the morning and they also need to have a break. That's why I think my menu is perfect. Here are a few examples of what you can (and should!) have: I offer a full English breakfast. It's a very generous meal with tomatoes, mushrooms, beans an egg and two sausages. It's perfect if you haven't had time to eat in the morning! If you are not that hungry or if you prefer sweet food, you can have a donut, some toast with homemade strawberry jam or a piece of cake. You really should taste my chocolate cookies, they are delicious! And you must try my carrot cake, it is really tasty, I think it's the best in New York City! The healthiest option is a bowl of fruit salad with some cereal, so you can see I also have vegan dishes to keep everyone happy.
On Tuesdays and Fridays, I will make pancakes because they are so good! And I serve them with maple syrup... Canadian style!
You can drink coffee, tea, or various fresh juices. Everything is organic, and it's top quality. As for the service, I am the seller, and I am really nice, so everyone will be satisfied, I can guarantee it!
I almost forgot... The prices are very reasonable too. Nothing costs more than 5 dollars, so it's probably the cheapest breakfast you can have in the city!
Thank you for your time. Do you have any questions?
