Artistic Responses

It was so cool to see everyone's artistic responses today! People came up with really creative ideas, and each person seemed to have really thought about it seriously. It was interesting to see that everyone got to learn something new about Native Americans this quarter, and that they were able to show that in their  responses.
To be honest, I never really had interest in Native Americans until this quarter, and without the assignment of writing a research paper on them, I probably would have never made the effort to learn about them. But I have to say i have enjoyed the process of doing the research for my paper! I have learned soo much and it made me realize how much we do not know about our own nation and its history. Some reservations really need tons of help, and even though I personally cant do much by myself, I think just being aware of these circumstances is a very important thing.

I'm so glad Kohl, Paco, and Jordan could come last week and talk again. It's always interesting to hear about what they have to say. Thanks again!

  1. I agree with you! I didn't know anything about Native Americans and their culture, but by doing my research paper I have learned a lot. The artistic response was very cool :)

  2. I was the same way at first; if it wasn’t for this class and writing the research papers then I would have never really took the time to learn about Native Americans. This class has really taught me a lot about them and in the end I’m glad that I took this class.
