Harjo uses evidence to support her argument by using the amount of Native Americans that are stored in museums for studies and what kind of profit is being made off of these remains and artifacts and the non-carrying attitude of American professionals in this field of study. She questions the impact of studying the remains of dead Native Americans in order to help other Native Americans. The evidence Harjo shows is very convincing to me as a reader because she goes to great lengths to prove her point about her subject. She states the feelings of her Native American people and her own feelings on the subject. She shows that the treatment of her people is unnecessary.
The assumptions I think that Harjo makes about her audience is that her readers are not aware of the ongoing problem that is at hand with the dead remains of her ancestors.
