"Sharing One Skin: The Okanagan Community"

In the article “Sharing One Skin” by Jeanette Armstrong she expresses that without the environment, community, family, and culture we’d all be lost in the world without any identity. Armstrong breaks down how the Okanagan people see things in their culture, how they respect themselves, the environment and other’s. I love my family and my community. Armstrong says “Because without community and family we are truly not human.”, and this reminds me that family has helped me grow up into the person I am now. I learned my traditions from my family and the community sticks together when sometimes in the pueblo things are going on, and for traditional doings.

"How to place names impact the way we see landscape"

Toastie talks about how places have stories and backgrounds that go back in time longer than you think and how important to know these places. The stories that defined how we connect and preserve the landscape. Toastie’s article has Indigenous people have the knowledge and see these places more than just “land”. “A lot of places are attached to stories, and those stories are important for us to remember because they’re telling us something about ourselves and our past.” I connect to this article on how places have identities and stories them. I feel that more people should know about these events. My traditions is what taught me about my connection to earth, and the landscapes around me, it taught me this connection by simply walking outside to the fields and up to the mountains to go hunting or fishing. I plan on sharing my knowledge by passing it down to my little sister and eventually my children.Toastie, B.

"And I went to school"

“And then I went to school” by Joe Suina was a great story that was written about his childhood and how he grew up with his grandmother. Suina in this story talks about how his grandmother took care of him in his pueblo of Cochiti, the way they lived and the importance of his grandmother wanting him to go to school which he later expresses that decision was the best thing he ever did. The descriptive language Suina used in this article makes the imagery so much clearer. Suina expresses the struggles he experienced in school and how he was “...encouraged to attend school so I might have a better life in the future.” I grew up with my grandparents where I was gifted with lots of advice, respect, and teachings that I keep very close to my heart and carry these important values in my identity, such as my language, my dances, and the food we make.

History

Colonization of the Americas caused the death of 5 million Indigenous people - the equivalent of 10% of the world population at that time, colonization impacted the lives of people around the globe by causing families to be insecure and inspiring hate-filled violence by dictators' new Mexico 500 year + history (as it's told) is largely based on the writing of Spaniards and U.S. military tribes did not have written documentation but passed down their history through song and art it is not income that tet they keep ths3es stories to themselves every story told about our history is colored by both the person telling it and those hearing it.

Global Connections

The article I read was about how tens of thousands of Maori people rallied in protest. The legislation proposed by the junior partner in ht central right coalition government lacks the support needed to pass they say it seeks to reverse decades of polices aimed at empowering the market who make up about 70% of the 5.3 million population but has higher levels of depravation and incarceration. ¨Tusdays protest was preceded by a nine-day march or hike in the Mapro language that began in the country's far north in towns and cities as marchers traveled south on foot and in cars to Wellington. some in the crowd were dressed in traditinal attire with feartherd headdresses and cloaks and carried Maori weapons others were a shirt with (Tuitu te tirti) which means honor the treaty
