She talks about her parents and how her mother was an American Indian and how her father was a white man. Her parents divorced and her mother had to work full time just to make ends meat. Since her mother didn't have enough money for a babysitter, Betty had to go to an Indian boarding school and was taught to fear God. One day she asked one of the nuns about God's existence and was beat severely for it and had to go to the hospital.
