Feel free to give your post a provocative or witty title! en-us 2020-10-19 23:35:52 UTC 2026-01-21 20:24:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845475991 1. Did Momaday only have the view he did because of his connection to Native American Heritage (His mother's some Indian blood and Indian father?)  
2. "Harmony between them is an achievable goal" How or how does Tayo not see this goal within southwestern consumerism? ]]> 2020-10-20 16:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845475991 https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845479751 2020-10-20 16:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845479751 https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845488060 What does Scott Momaday mean when he says on page 579, "the earth is vital, that there's a spiritual dimension to it, a dimension in which man RIGHTLY exists."]]> 2020-10-20 16:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845488060 https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845495495 Would you say that having "no possibility of existence elsewhere" (Momaday, 571) would lead to a more appreciative relationship with nature?

In the cross class meeting, a student from the Facing Beasts class mentioned that Native Americans are more respectful of land than others. Did N. Scott Momaday share this belief? Was there a reason for it?
2. Two of the more recent readings have depicted "the white man" as dangerous. Have there been any other readings where "the white man" may have been a danger factor?]]> 2020-10-20 16:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845500235 https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845504159 1. Why does he view society as a whole saying everyone see land as use and ownership?

"What is more appropriate to our world than that which is beautiful?" (Momaday 579) Does that make it okay to "use" it? "The first truth is that I love the land; I see that it is beautiful; I delight in it; I am alive in it."

Were there any connections between the two classes represented in the reading? 
Do you believe that seeing Earth to have a “spiritual dimension” improperly integrates man in nature, like in the John Muir reading?]]> 2020-10-20 16:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845516388 https://padlet.com/abby_l_goode/7mfu8oo89ji3rpsg/wish/845519755 1. What do you think he is trying to say when he says "His relationship to the land has not yet become a moral equations? (pg. 572)
2. After reading this quote: "In our society as a whole we conceive of the land in terms of ownership and use."
