The fact that the government continues to separate Native people is shocking. https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338717334 2022-10-13 13:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338717334 I was surprised on how brutal their experiences actually were https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338717832 2022-10-13 13:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338717832 https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718118 Once the orphans came back in both stories things changed (not exactly for the better)]]> 2022-10-13 13:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718118 Both showed the clash of Native American and American culture https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718155 2022-10-13 13:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718155 The documentary was especially touching... 25wagnera1 https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718195 It was really moving to see a child and multiple children across Maine forcefully taken from their families and still reliving those awful memories when the committee was formed. I think it is really hard for people to understand just how painful it was for Native communities to lose their children, which are their futures.]]> 2022-10-13 13:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718195 25risebergr https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718264 the struggle of passing on culture to the next generations but its cut off when kids are taken away and out into mostly white family homes ]]> 2022-10-13 13:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718264 How does the perspective of the mother vs child affect how we perceive these stories? 25franceschinie https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718295 2022-10-13 13:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338718295 25risebergr https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338719725 lullaby and other stories are giving new perspectives to the reader about situations most people might not have gone through ]]> 2022-10-13 13:01:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338719725 New realizations about the lengths the government went to (much worse than I thought it was). https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338719813 2022-10-13 13:01:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338719813 When was Lullaby written? 25gabrielc1 https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338720626 2022-10-13 13:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338720626 It was very upsetting to me that they had boarding schools built just for Native children to erase their culture and make them forget who they are. https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338721428 2022-10-13 13:02:57 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338721428 When was First Light filmed? https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338721951 2022-10-13 13:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338721951 Community and the unity within them https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722397 2022-10-13 13:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722397 First Light showed the general impact throughout the country, while Lullaby is a specific example 25liue1 https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722586 2022-10-13 13:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722586 25risebergr https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722963 I wonder what the perspective is of the families the kids are being out into?]]> 2022-10-13 13:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338722963 It's harder to grow out of something than previously thought, especially if you feel as if you're the one to fault for it (signing the document). https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723141 2022-10-13 13:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723141 Kinda telling the same story (different p.o.v.) https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723443 2022-10-13 13:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723443 "History repeating itself" along the lines of stories like "Lullaby" and "The Warriors" 25wagnera1 https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723586 Both Lullaby and The Warriors illustrate the downfall and loss of Native culture. On one hand Lullaby is very similar to the documentary in which the Native people lose their children which are their greatest connection to their heritage and their future, while in The Warriors the sisters lose their uncle to homelessness and substance abuse which shows the loss of culture between those who were the most dedicated to keeping their culture alive. In the end it just shows a loss to keep going as it is too much to handle.]]> 2022-10-13 13:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338723586 A more spefic perspective into the children of lullaby https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338724398 2022-10-13 13:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/maxwellj26/ofil2pwpcwe05s56/wish/2338724398 In "Lullaby", why were the children taken away?
