Personal Connection

Growing up, all I ever imagined myself was traveling and living the city life, and although I still dream of that life, I have come to the realization that this had an influence on me a bit to much making me becoming not so interested in my communities traditions and cultural doings. I felt guilty, I’ll admit because that is who I am and where I come from. Over the course of my highschool years, I have got the opportunity to travel. There I learned so much stuff that I think will benefit my community. I began to understand that while I am out in the world, I get the chance to represent where I come from and appreciate how beautiful and unique it is to be Indigenous. Now that I got to experience a little bit of the "real world' and see it for what it is, I want to encourage others to take the opportunity and travel to places they have never been before. I want to let them know that great benefits and ideas are all out there, they just have to find them!

Stolen Children/Residential School Survivors Speak out

Summary: The video, “Stolen Children/residential school survivors speak out” by CBC News uncovers how residential schools were like to Native Americans. Alice Littledeer, Raymond Mason, and Madeleine Dion Scott are three survivors who spoke about their experience. Back in the day, boarding schools were a way of converting Indigenous people into the White culture, wiping out their traditions. As the three speak about their experience, it is often mentioned the physical abuse that took place and the rules that they were exposed to. Madeleine Dion Scott says “I’d like us all to be a part of a team that really makes a lasting difference for not only residential survivors, but the other children who are having difficulties today.” I believe that no matter how much of a traumatic experience you have gone through, the faith is always there in continuing to be better for yourself and where you come from.

"The Relocation Policy" by Donald L. Fixico

In the article, “The Relocation Policy”, Donald L. Fixico, explains the success Native Americans had with the help of BIA. During this time period, many volunteered into the Military service. Their inspiration was often because they saw it as their last chance to become warriors. Others, well, they moved to non-indian communities to work in the war industries. Because of this, the majority experienced a lot of cultural shocks. Even when returning home, at times they no longer felt at home, rather alienated. As time passed, The Relocation Program was created. At first, this was to help the Navajos from their poor living situations, but over time the program extended and became bigger. This extended to the states of New Mexico, California, Utah and more. Overall, the success of this was the job opportunities that people obtained and their adjustment into the city life.

The Not So Lovely Part of To Culture: Cultural Disconnection

The Not So Lovely Part to Culture: Cultural Disconnection by Celine Hoffens focuses on her own experience as living the Hispanic and American way. She deeply expresses how hard it has become trying to juggle both identities. At the same times, she wouldn't trade it for who she is and where she comes from. A quote that I like to leabe by Celine is that, "At the end of the day, take pride in where you're from regardless of if you know a lot about it, you should always feel proud of who you are as a person."

Away From Home

In this article, "Benefits of Traveling: Why Should You Leave" provided reasons as to why you should venture into the world and how there are many opportunities you can have when you do so. Some examples include, broadiening your horizons, meeting new people, and becoming appreciative of the little things. This article really helps in terms for those that are fearful and frightned about traveling and being away from home. I think it's a way for those that are also introverted, to help them realize that they should challenge themselves to learn more about who they are.

A World of Two

Quannah Chasinghorse is a model who comes from the Han Gwich'in, Lakota, and the Navajo Nation. In the video, "The Norh Face: Walking Two Worlds" depicts Quannah as she becomes faced with her identity. As she becomes familiar to the city life, she starts to become disconnected from her life back at home. Quannah begans to miss the traditions they do and would often feel homesick. But she continued to chase her dream because finally she realized that she is not only representing herself, but where she comes from. To all Indigneous people around the world, remember "you can take the girl out of the village, but you can't take the village out of the girl." Say Quannah.
