I think that Christine Welsh searched for voices because she wanted to know about her family heritage after a the point in time that she was curious and realized that it was important to her to find out who were her ancestors. I personally had not really tried to find out about my family history because I have always been told many stories about my family’s history. If I was curious enough to find out more about my family history I would like to find out more about my ancestors.
I don’t like how Christine Welsh decided to hide her native heritage because of the discrimination around her. She could have stood up for herself instead of hiding it. I also don’t like how the native country wives were treated.
I would have to say it both a survival mechanism and a betrayal because they wanted to survive and not be discriminated but they betrayed themselves by being around the non-native people and wanting to be one of them.
Something I learned from listening to the stories of my family history is that I come from native heritage and that my ancestors were pioneers that crossed the plains.
