Module 5 Takeaways

2. I learned about cultural appropriation and how it negatively affects Native Americans. It can lead to an erasure of culture. It can also lead to the perpetuation of stereotypes.

1. Citeria for evaluating Native American Literature. I learned that Native American characters can be represented through secondhand views that way it loses authenticity. All data has to be historically accurate and to a certain time period where evidence can still be relevant. Also consider catching stereotypes and bias in literature to bring up misinformation so we can do something about it.
2. Culture appropriation is when something is taken from a culture without permission and used for another meaning. Examples would be Indian costumes used for Halloween, it is not appropriate at all to wear because of the meaning behind their clothes. Culture appropriation is very harmful to any community it comes from because it represents inferiority and gives less meaning to what the symbol truly means.
3. Too approach that topic, it is best to study cultures and respectfully represent their culture. It would be best to ask for permission, ask them to even represent it themselves if possible.

1. My favorite book I read from this module was "Fry Bread", it taught me so much about the Native culture and history behind dynamics and customs. "Fry Bread" taught me about the importance of the food and how it was a staple for the community in times of turmoil and devastation.
2. I always think of Native culture and dreamcatchers when people talk about cultural appropriation because I remember a friend I had from the community told me about the devastating impact big corporations had on the authenticity of dreamcatchers and the original purpose of them. Big name stores and companies exploited Native culture's creation of dreamcatchers and took profit from them, but also took originality and meaning as well.
3. The dark history behind boarding schools can be highlighted in children's literature, but many debate whether or not it should be explained to children. The dark history of boarding schools should be taught to children because it shows what not to do. Discrimination, indoctrination, and evils in history are things we can learn from, not shun.
