We are all connected as people and together can do amazing things. ]]> 2022-01-04 17:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974732688 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974733859
"Remember your birth, how your mother struggled to give you form and breath. You are evidence of her life, and her mother's, and hers" (Harjo 7-10).
 
 All life is a mixture of the history of people or life forms that came before it. Each person tells the story of their heritage, without having to speak it.]]> 2022-01-04 17:29:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974733859 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974734515 "Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their/ families, their histories, too. Talk to them,/ listen to them. They are live poems. (Harjo 14-16)"

We like this part because these lines are about taking action and are inspiring.]]> 2022-01-04 17:29:27 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974734515 "Remember your birth, how your mother struggled" (Harjo 7). https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974736926 We cannot remember our birth, however, there is an understood appreciation that stands when it comes to that birth-day. It is shared between a child and their mother, when they fight and sacrifice 9 months of their lives, and sort of the rest of their lives for their child's life.

(Harjo 23-25)
This quote resonates with us because we can all relate to it and it uses second person to connect to the reader. ]]> 2022-01-04 17:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/p2of5ctvr9dbyb7i/wish/1974740886
