E - QUESTION #1
Ditmas does not have a large(or possibly any) Indigenous people.
Should we spend a whole month studying their history?
Or should we make more time studying the history of our current population of students…
I think that we should spend more time studying the history of our current population. I think this because there is people who come from lots of different places in ditmas and will be nice to learn about them. It will be better not just to learn one culture when you can learn so many from the people here.
I think that we should learn about indigenous people history. If we learn about the current population of students it will be useless because the population of students will change and won't be useful in the real world. Also the history of the Indigenous people won ´ t also be useful but it would not change and would be nice to indigenous students to see people learning about there history.
I don’t think Ditmas have a large amount of indigenous people maybe about 0-5 in a year or not even at all in years, there might be some but I don’t think there is a lot. I would say not month but a few weeks to study they history. We should spent time studying more from the history because I think they are more to discover and to research about but at same time there we can learn so much from people in our current population.
I think we should spend a whole month studying indigenous people because I don't know if this is correct, but they don't have much fame. Also we should learn about them because it's good for our brains to get more knowledge on unknown tribes and what not.
I think we should make more time studying the history of the current population of students cultures because they could be related to an indigenous person or tribe, I think that would make the population feel special. Another reason is because I think that having our current population of students from foreign countries could make them understand more of what their countries do.
I think we should spend a whole month is important to understand the culture, lifestyle, and construction of Native Americas. Culture is important to understand the lifestyles of people around us, such as worshiping God or gods, and using natural resources for clothes and animals. This is also part of their lifestyle and construction.
I think that we should spend some time on learning about Indigenous People but we should also spend time on learning the history of our current population of students because it could be fun to learn and it could give everyone a chance to get to know each other better and where we are from.
I think we should study the history of the current population of students because its more interesting to see where other students are from and more about their culture. For example im from Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹 and it have quite some interesting history about it.
I think we should spend a whole month studying about the history of indigenous people. We should take a whole month studying about them because there is still so much we don’t know about them.
E-Question #2
What was your experience with Ms. Bortle watching your class last period? How does it feel when you are observed by visitors?
Do you get excited and rise to the occasion? Or do you get nervous?
I feel the same I felt before the visitor came. I don’t get excited or scared because all I need to do is what I was already doing so There is no need to get nervous. I wouldn’t get excited because visitors come all the time. When Ms.Bortle came she asked me a couple of questions on what we are doing and I answer the questions to my best ability.
I didn't really feel anything to be honest, I just did my work and minded my own business. And when my group got a compliment we just accepted it and still did our work, I don't know why people usually get nervous it's fine if a visitor is here, just think of them as your teacher.
When ms bortle come and watch us I don’t pay attention to her I just focused on my work but if there a lot of people I seem to get anxious and i don’t why.
When Ms Bortle was watching our class, i was nervous, but also happy at the same time. It gives us a feeling that she likes our work, so thats why shes experiencing us. When visitors visit, i get both excited, and nervous. The exciting part is when they take a look at your work, and how you are doing. The part that i get nervous about is, if they ask me questions. I can answer them but it's just a nervous and scary feeling.
I get a bit nervous when we get observed because I am worried my work won't be "satisfactory." But sometimes I am excited and rise to the occasion because I am confident that I won't mess up or make a mistake in my work. Last period I felt excited and rose to the occasion because I knew I wouldnt make a mistake.
I get nervous sometimes because I think they will ask us questions and I may not know the answer. There are also times when I don’t realize the visitors are here because I am busy doing my work. So I don’t stress at that point and just act normal like it is a normal day.
My experience with Ms. Bortle and the other visitors was perfect because I know what I was doing and what I had to do while doing my work. I was also communicating well with my classmates and It sounded well and professional My experience was neither nervous or excited I was just prepared and ready for visitors to come and see what our class was up to so I was perfectly fine.
When visitors observed the classroom I felt uneasy because they were noisy and didn't know how to mind their own business .I didn't like when they asked me questions about my project because they were bothering me and I couldn't focus on what I was doing. Also when I didn't answer their question with enough details they asked another question so I couldn't get back to my work.

E - Question #3 -

E - Question #3 -
The Indian Child Welfare Act want to preserve Native American children from losing their culture and language by being adopted by non indigenous families. What is more important. A happy home for a child that may lose their culture or a less suitable family that may continue the Native American traditions.
And HOW do you think the Supreme Court will rule? With the Native Americans or the Caucasian (white) family?
I that both a happy home and the child culture is important but he is so young so when he gets older I think he should learn it. It is definitely important for him to have a loving home and to learn his culture especially because it is starting to die out. Also the people that are trying to adopt him know him instead of him getting sent to strangers. Even if the people we’re from on his tribe he still doesn’t know them. I think that the Supreme Court decision would be on who it is because if it somebody who is also a Native American there is a better chance they might disagree and not let them adopt him.
I think the Native American kids should get a happy home with good parents but should not lose their culture because nobody would know it and the parents could put them in school so they can learn culture with a happy family. I think the Supreme will let non indigenous families adopt Native American children if they can learn their traditions and culture.
i think the most important thing for the child is a happy family and a safe home for them to stay in and they would have to have a lot of care yes their culture might be not learned but that's not important for the child right now, maybe when their older they can learn their culture when they older, so i say they go to family that take care of child good and they learn they culture when they older maybe they can teach their parent to.
In my opinion, i think it depends on the child mostly. If they dont want to continue their culture in a happy home, then its their choice. But if they want to continue their culture in a home that is less suitable, then its also their choice. They could either give up their culture, or move on. I think the supreme court will rule with the native americans, just because the child is indian, and the welfare doesnt want the child to forget his/her own culture.
why not both? either way i chose a happy home a language is a language it doesn't change the fact that your still communicating with other people a happy home is a stable and fun filled life would you rather spend your life learning a language nobody remembers or cares about or live your life not spending your life or half of it learning some random language its point less in a country that doesn't speak your language at all that's why i chose being adopted by none indigenous family's.
I think that a child adopted by a non-Native American family should decide for himself if he wants to learn the Navajo language and culture or have a happy home for a child that may lose their culture. I think this is how the Supreme Court will rule that the family can adopt the child and that families who wish to adopt Native American children are allowed to but it is up to the child to choose to continue Native American traditions.
I think the child should for the white family so they can could have a happy home and a happy life so they are raised good. Im not saying that if they go with the native americans they will not have a happy home is just that there is a risk to everything sometimes so if the child goes with the white family then they will have a happy life happy home but with the risk of losing their culture and language maybe.
A happy home is more important for a child. If a child is a happy home, it can make up for not knowing their religion. If I was a religion not very well known, I would rather have a happy life and family, then know my religion. Also, can anyone tell me what an electepithy is? I keep hearing people say it.
It depends on the child. If the culture is really important, then you should keep the child. But, if the parents are pretty harsh or don ´ t really care for the child, then you should adopt the child.
I think the child should go with the the white family because the child proabally has grown attached to the family but I still think think the kid should be exposed to it's culture. The supreme courts most likely going to side with the Native Americans
I think it depends on what the child wants. If the child does not care about his culture than he can enjoy life as a family family. Even so why dont the families just do both. For example, love them while keeping their culture alive. I dont get how this would stay a debate they can just do both. Theirs no harm in loving and teaching about culture at the same time.
I think that having a loving family is more important to culture because even if the family isn't the same race as the kid, they can always send the child to a school that teaches them their native language.
i think whats more important is whats more comfortable with the child if they have a strong connection with the loving couple and they family continues teaching her the native american culture its better for them to keep her. but if the child is more comfortable with the native american family and feel uncomfortable learning a new culture then they should stay with the native american family
The way the supreme court will rule is making the child happier with a non indigenous where they can enjoy life. Instead of having a suitable family and will teach the kid about the history of their language. This decision is hard because learning the history of the language is more important so this language can continue on and pass down to his/ her children but at the same time the child have to at least enjoy life.
I think that the child should go to a indigenous family because he can learn his culture and eat food from there culture and speak from there culture. I think the Supreme Court will rule by the giving the child to the indigenous family. I also think they should be in a loving family but I thin indigenous family would be better.
I think it’s more important for the child to be in a home the he loves and with people he knows instead of being in a house with people he doesn’t know and he might not ,one his language if his new parents learn the language.
A happy home for a child. I say this because if the kid knows nothing about his culture, there could be a way where he can change his culture. The culture could be anything but as long as he don't know anything about his culture, he can learn about his new one.
I think that both sides have a fair point so they should compromise because a child should be placed in a loving home but at the same time should be taught their native language. The family that wants to adopt the child should learn the traditions and languages our have the child visit the people from his/her native language. But I think the Supreme Court would place the child in a loving home.
