In this passage, which of the following best states the author's central argument? Read the following passage from "An Indian Father's Plea," by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake. Dear teacher, I would like to introduce you to my son, Wind-Wolf. [1] He is probably what you would consider a typical Indian kid. He was born and raised on a reservation. He has black hair, dark brown eyes, olive complexion. And like so many Indian children his age, he is shy and quiet in the classroom. He is 5 years old, in kindergarten, and I can't understand why you have already labeled him a "slow learner." At the age of 5, he has already been through quite an education compared with his peers in Western society. At his first introduction into this world, he was bonded to his mother and to the Mother Earth in a traditional native childbirth ceremony. And he has been continuously cared for by his mother, father, sisters, cousins, uncles, grandparents, and extended tribal family since this ceremony. — Lake, Medicine Grizzlybear. "An Indian Father's Plea" by Medicine Grizzlybear Lake (a/k/a Robert G. Lake-Thom) as appeared in Orion magazine, Autumn 1995. Reprinted by permission of the author.

Answer:

B. Western society misjudges Native American practices.

Explanation:

In the given passage from a plea letter written by an Indian father, he seems to suggest to a much larger issue of how Native Americans are perceived and treated in the western American society. The father, Robert Lake, emphasizes on how his son is finding it hard to culturally identify himself amidst the American way of teaching that he is subjected to in school.

Taken from the first part of the letter, the given passage reveals how the young son, Wind-Wolf was labeled "a slow learner" by his teacher despite the fact that he has been through with "quite an education" in his Indian reserve. He then went on to narrate how he had been educated so much more about life, more than the Western society's child would have gotten. So, the main argument of the given passage is that Western society misjudges the practices of the Native Americans.
