In this story is talks about how the new generation of a native american tribe is loosing its traditional ways and that the generation before them are like disappointed in them and that they should learn everything they were taught because if the new generation continues this there will probably nothing left that the tribe was known for like their unique language, food and cultural dances. And knowing our elders who charish these traditions will be very disappointed because they did not just keep the tradition going just so it can be forgotten in the next generations. But it was also like white american problem as most of our grandparents were sent to border schools which forcibly made them forget their culture and language. Maybe that is one of the reasons why the new generation is slowly losing their culture because no one really taught them how or maybe they just didnt pay attention.

In this story in the novel it talks about a young girl who talks about how her mother is a Kettle River Indain and also how her father is an Moutain Indain and also how separate their cultures are from one another but that does not stop from saying that she is from both and how she is responsible for both traditions and beliefs from each tribe. Because she says she is proud to be both and represent herself as both and when she introduces herself she says she cannot be separated from her place or land and what are her responsibilities and goals. She says that it tell the people who are listening what her connection is, how she needs to conduct herself ,what she needs to carry with her, what she project, what she teaches and what she thinks about, what she must do and what she can't do.

In the article it talks about how gender equality is not just a fundamental human right but a foundation for a peaceful and prosperous world. And after decades later, more women are going to school and fewer women forced into marriage and after all that is gone every one in five women and girls between the ages of 15 and 49 report experiencing physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner within a 12-month period. Nearly 60% of women around the world work in the informal economy which they earned too little of, and as a greater risk of falling into poverty. And saying that many businesses shut down, more and more jobs disappear for women which will change a lot of women.

How this deals with my SHP topic is by how the pandemic is having devastating social and economic consequences for women and girls because as the pandemic moves forward the more and more women lose jobs, or young teen girls who go to school are shut down which will cause them to not want to go back to school as they rather work or other reasons. And because of this at least one in five women have experienced violence in the past year.

One of the current issues that talks about my topic is about how much of a difference men get paid than women, and in this article it takes a deep dive on the issue. The financial and economic empowerment is one of the key factors in keeping the gender balance. A 2020 World Economic Forum report says that if they keep at the current pace of correcting this imbalance it could take another 100 years until women receive equal pay for equal work. And this isn’t really an issue that is divided between high-income and low-income countries either. While that same WEF report ranks Burundi and Austria at approximately the same level of progress to closing their overall gender gap.

When religious freedom is attacked, women suffer the most. According to the World Economic Forum, when extremist ideologies come into a community and restrict religious freedom, gender inequality gets worse. In a study performed by Georgetown University and Brigham Young University, researchers were also able to connect religious intolerance with women’s ability to participate in the economy. When there’s more religious freedom, an economy becomes more stable thanks to women’s participation.
