- Wassup Sam, what's your question?

- Have you heard of Manifest Destiny?
- Yeah, it's a pretty controversial concept.
- Right, and it was used to justify the colonization and takeover of Native American land.
- That's true, but it's important to recognize the harm and injustice that was inflicted on Native American communities.
- I know, but at the time, many people believed it was their God-given right to settle the land.

- It's going to take a lot of hard work and commitment, but I believe we can do it.
- Me too. Let's start by educating ourselves and others, and then take action to make real change.

- That was a good conversation, James.
- I'm going to my Dads today, so I'm riding with you on the bus.
- Is your mom picking you up or are you going to your Dads.
