When learning about the atrocities committed to Native American children in St.Benedict's school in Minnesota, I automatically thought of the African American community and their mistreatment.  Some parallels between the two groups would include that they happened in the same county, the U.S., and possibly even the same time with St.Benedict's school only closing as early as the 1970s. Other parallels include the mistreatment of both people in ways such as depriving them of learning their own culture and forced to learn about a culture which is not theirs. Both groups also experienced an element of segregation since in the early 1900s African Americans were only allowed to attend school alongside other African Americans and this too was the case for the Native Americans when attending St.Benedict's school in Minnesota.

2.  I believe the U.S. can make amends to this community of Native Americans as well as the African American community, which are both notoriously two groups the U.S.  has severely inflicted pain upon. This is important because people of these two communities still suffer to this day with there being several impoverished Native American reservations today in the U.S. One way I think the U.S. could make amends would be through the way of reparations to these two communities which we learned about in class when talking about some of these impoverished reservations. This could help make Native Americans today recover from the decades of neglect they endured. Another way could be in the way of just simply giving Native Americans a voice and making sure that, that voice is heard. In week 8 of class, we learned of the numerous cases in which indigenous women have been assaulted, raped , kidnapped, or even killed without sufficient police investigation. In the ted talk we watched, we learned about these horrific cases and how they are often ignored or at the very least not prioritized by many people. I believe this needs to stop and the U.S. could do more when dealing with these issues, such as investing more into police training when dealing with these growing issues in the Native American community. ]]> 2022-11-09 03:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/felixcamarillo68/8zoyxi261drcjfv7/wish/2376126683 felixcamarillo68 https://padlet.com/felixcamarillo68/8zoyxi261drcjfv7/wish/2376162280 1.  The land back movement is a movement to restore Native American tribes land since it was taken from them many decades ago. By doing this, it will also combat climate change here in the U.S., through the use of some age-old techniques used by the Native Americans. 

2.  The problem and reason as to why this land back movement should take place is because of the destruction to U.S. land caused by climate change. This climate change is caused by events such as the Exxon oil spill, which severely damaged the ocean in the Alaska region.  And by depriving the Native Americans of their deserved land, events such as these will only begin to reoccur further damaging our climate. 

3.  One thing being done was mentioned in the ABC news video shared in canvas which mentioned this idea of using kelp to help restore food sustainability for both us and the ocean life. This is apart of the land back movement because it demonstrates the abilities Native Americans have when it comes to tending to their lands instead of damaging them. Another thing being done for this movement would be the numerous protests being done all over the U.S. in support of this cause. This has also resulted in some people outside of the Native American community showing support for this cause. These protests will only further continue the conversation and showcase it at a larger scale as to why the Native Americans deserve their land back.

4. This movement is heavily connected to climate change since Native Americans have been historically known for their caretaking of their land as well as oceans. In the video by Above the Noise in the canvas page, it talks about research which demonstrates this idea of Native American being very kind to their lands. It points to studies showing tribes in Brazil, Australia, and Canada having equally or more biodiversity than special conservation lands owned by the governments of those nations. So by looking at research such a this, one can't help but at least consider this movement worldwide and at the very least nationwide here in the U.S. ]]> 2022-11-09 04:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/felixcamarillo68/8zoyxi261drcjfv7/wish/2376162280 felixcamarillo68 https://padlet.com/felixcamarillo68/8zoyxi261drcjfv7/wish/2376196358 1.  When visiting the Native knowledge 360 programs, one can find a multitude of different resources regarding Native American history as well as present-day Native American history being made. It also offers for this month of November a section on Thanksgiving in order to inform the casual reader of some misinformation they may have known about the festivity, which I believe is important to know. 

2. I read the Rethinking Thanksgiving celebrations lesson and found it very interesting since I did not know much about Thanksgiving, to begin with. It talks about the Wampanoag people and their graciousness in welcoming English settlers by teaching them how to harvest, which only then led to them having a feast together. It also talks about how we must not forget that the Wampanoag people are the reason why the English settlers feasted on Thanksgiving since the Wampanoag people were very sharing in their food, land, and knowledge of the environment. The lesson then ends on the point that the English settlers then attacked and encroached upon the Native American people without regard to the graciousness they were previously offered by the Native American people.  

3. This lesson when looking at it as an overview connects well with the book we read at the begging of the semester, Stampede. I would say that both of these connect well since they both attempt to correct history and people's perceptions of history by giving us other perspectives we may have never been previously exposed to or taught.  These two also connect to this idea of learning to be anti-racist and this idea of anti-racism since they give us this opportunity to be better informed about these historically oppressed people and their history. 

4. Lessons such as Rethinking Thanksgiving celebrations and lessons learned from the book Stampede help impact student education by helping us the students help become more informed on these at one point one-sided issues. For example, learning that the Wampanoag people were the people who informed the English settlers how to cultivate food among much else, helps us understand that Thanksgiving would not have happened without them. This helps us better appreciate them and their history since Thanksgiving was often and is still often seen as an event in which both parties helped each other when in reality it was all thanks to the Wampanoag people. ]]> 2022-11-09 04:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/felixcamarillo68/8zoyxi261drcjfv7/wish/2376196358
