Reflection Paper #3:
Starving Settlers
I reflect on the first chapters of Hungry Listening and how the mindset of extraction exists and how that is directly tied to colonialism and capitalism. I reflect on what music has meant to me and how it can be different for Native communities. Lastly, I mention the creative arts and the benefits it brings.
Reflection Paper #5:
Seeing the World Differently
For this paper, I talk about migration and how that is seen as something bad in the US in the aspect that the US makes it difficult for immigrants. I talk about the ideal of "Nation of Immigrants" and how that is harmful and it perpetuates the erasure of Native people.
