“Well, life is a constant struggle between being an individual and being a member of the community.”

Constant- continuous

Struggle- problem

Between- in the middle

Individual- by yourself

Member- a part of something

Community- with a group

I think this quote means that a big problem in life is coming from a group of people you know, like a community in your birthplace, for example Junior is from the rez. But the other part of the problem is moving on to be a greater individual, like Junior leaves the rez to learn in a less bias school.
