week seven response

This week I really enjoyed the film, literature, and discussions surrounding Indigenous youth. I have read several books, both nonfiction and novels, about youth in Indigenous cultures, so it was interesting to see them speak on the film we watched on Tuesday. I am a Dream Project volunteer and work with some Native American teens, so it was very beneficial for me to gain another perspective on what else is possibly going on in their life and culture, outside of what is discussed regularly at school.

I have actually already read "We Have to Take Care of Everything That Belongs to Us" before, for another class. I've actually found that I've already read many of the required texts, and already owned some of the required books. Regardless, I am rereading them for this class, because it is interesting to read them through again through a different lens. I am particularly looking forward to working with the Pojar text again while working on my herbarium project -- I have already started, and I am eager to finish and share with the class.
