This article is about Jeanette Armstrong and the Okanagan people. The author tells us where she came from and how she manages to be a part of two communities (the Kettle river people and the mountain people). She explains her culture and her ways and how she was taught about the importance of the four selves “...we identify the whole person as having four main capacities that operate together.” (pg 36) She talks about the importance of her identity and the importance of language. She brieflytalks about the increase of unnatural distractions like technology and how people are becoming less in touch with their emotions. She wraps it up by being honest about who she is and what she needs to be emotionally happy.

In the Youtube video “Things that Happen To Your Body When You Run Everyday” It describes nine important and healthy things that happen to your body. In the video he talks about heart rate, blood circulation, heart muscles, oxygen, boosting brain-power, stress reduction, muscle strength, mood improvement, and your sleeping gets better. The video explains how all of these things happen to your body when you run and shows diagrams of these things happening. As I watched the video it encouraged me to run more. I thought this video was informative and everyone should watch it.

In this article “Former Indian School runner helps Cleveland win state title” Chris Humetewa and Isaiah Valasquez were running with their district schools due to the pandemic. In the article they both mention that they didn't feel right wearing a different uniform other than garnet and gold. They had both trained all summer long hoping to run for Santa Fe Indian School but when the lockdown happened they didn't do much. Isaiah had mentioned that he wanted to give up because it was not the same and he didn't have something to work for. Until Chris has Inspired Isaiah to continue running and hearing that some of his old teammates were not able to participate so he did it for them.

An article I read was “Community run promotes health” and how they aim to spread wellness.

In California the community comes together for this annual running event on moving forward on being active and running for meditation. In the article most people who participate are givers and people who care for the community's wellness. The article also talks about how running has helped recover from addiction and become aware of their health for better living.
