The first step to change is educating others around you. Saying the U.S. education system is flawed isn't a difficult argument to make. I didn't learn as much as I should have about the hardships unique to the Native People in my public education. In educating children about different cultures, languages, and values, we are able to understand the differences between people and perhaps start to mend broken relationships and avoid future injustice. So many things in our schools need to be reformed. Thankfully, We are in the process of reforming huge issues like education on Native Peoples.

All of these problems discussed in this padlet that the US and Native Americans now face together can be traced back to racist ideas and policies. In understanding the most darkest and upsetting times of our past, we are able to advocate for and create a better future. Our similarities and differences should be examined and acknowledged, however these things should not be roadblocks that turn people against each other, but rather stepping stones that build connection, empathy, and unity.

The Native Knowledge 360 program is a resource that educators and students can use to get a multi dimensional perspective on Native history and culture.

What I learned through reading past texts and listening to my professor's lectures is that History is multidimensional and must be looked at as such.

There are a lot of things I have to unlearn from my k-12 education. During Thanksgiving my class would make "Indian and pilgrim hats" and wear them without understanding really despite the "offer" and "promise" of peace, how harmful colonialization was to them. I learned to see Native American and colony communication as positive when I was young, now after understanding that history is not some one dimensional concept, I am able to understand both the triumphs and failures America had.

Global warming is, as of right now, seen as unfixable and unavoidable. However, Indigenous people have some of the most sustainable practices to combat and heal some of the damage that has been done. If Native Americans are able to take back their land, they will also be able to save our planet. In taking back the land that was theirs, they are also able to take back their culture, livelihoods, rituals, and sense community. Returning Indigenous land will help to mend both the people and the planet.

Despite the fact that land was stolen from Native Americans, they are buying it back. Finding funds for this been a problem. Through sustainable energy resources and turning the oxygen from trees into profit, Natives are able to buy back land bit by bit. When people think of "Land Back Movement" some get scared because they don't know what that might mean for the non indigenous people living off of that land. Giving back land to the Native American's might mean in some cases relocating businesses, government buildings, schools, and homes. We had done a lot of construction over Indigenous land, and it is a very messy process to undo the wrongs that have been done.

The Land Back Movement is a call for action to put Indigenous, and Sacred land back into the hands of its people.

While the US can never truly make up for what has been done to the Native People's, a necessary change in communications, policies, and systemic culture is due and owed to everyone involved. This is important because the past has a personal affect on others. While many years and generations have passed since certain injustices have happened, it still wreaks havoc on people today. If we want a different future, we must be willing to make changes now.

The Native peoples have been suppressed and oppressed for hundreds of years. The way that national, patriarchal governments have treated the Natives have been without a doubt unfair and immoral. Unfortunately, powerful systems and people such as the US Government have taken advantage of and abused more than just the Native nation but other ethnic cultures and peoples. Through my reading of "Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism, and You" I have found a parallel between the Black Americans and Native Americans.

- Past lack of representation for these groups in government policy
-The leaking of negative propaganda that both groups did not possess human and moral qualities
-Both groups have been betrayed at one point (or in reality many points) by the US constitution
