This story is about a young Cochiti boy who grew up in the pueblo and knew how to talk the language. He talked about how he remembered how his grandma's house was his safe place. He could be himself till he turned six and saw life from a bad perspective. From here on he only feels like himself when he’s in Cochiti. The white man is taking control slowly and it's not good.

The white people tried to take away the Native Americans Identity away but never met their goal. The porter talks about the history when Columbus arrived in North America. From this day on he brought violence and sickness. Nothing good came upon the Natives. Later in the article it still talks about how the white people could just chase us away from the land. Finally they talked about how we became Americans Citizens and the land we live on nobody can’t touch or have a say so but, Native Americans.

High intensity interval training with body weight: the new calisthenics?

To start this article is pitting the different types of calisthenics into categories. These types of categories can tell you what level you're at or can signify how much mobility you have. The article also talks about the different muscle groups you can train with weight but is better to use your own body weight to get used to so you're not dragging your body on a daily basis like body posture.

Could Rajio taiso help people live longer lives? I like how Japanese in couperate rajio taiso in their daily lives. The Japanese implemented rajio taiso in schools and offices not too long ago. Not long after radio calisthenics was born and people took advantage. Later on people saw the result of the exercise that ended up in a positive impact in the Japanese community. Researchers found out that elderly are more prone to injury with weights but light exercise(rajio taiso) has a very positive impact on the old people This concludes my summary.
