When You're an Indian
The fact that you do not have "indian status" would not make a difference if you are in fact a native American.
You may believe that your manager discriminated against you on the basis of your race, but what you need to be able to do is describe the basis for your belief. What has this manager done and said that leads you to believe he either generally discriminates against Native Americans, or that he has discriminated against you because you are Native American.
Aurora is probably too far for me to conveniently represent you. If you contact me, I might be able to refer you to someone closer. Let me know what larger cities are near you.
