Native American Food Recipes

I ran across this website a couple weeks ago while figuring out what to do for my creative response because I was going to cook something. Some of these recipes look really good so I might have to make a few of them. Thought you guys might like some of them and also want to try making them.

Here is a picture of my creative response. It is suppose to look like an otter.

Thanks Melissa!!

I had an awesome time this quarter taking this class. I enjoyed learning about Native Americans and listening to the stories kohl and Paco told in class. To be honest, if it wasn’t for this class I probably would have never took the time to learn about Native Americans and the challenges they face every day. I also learned a lot about different writing styles and how to write better research papers because in the past I had a hard time writing them. By the end of the quarter I was glad that I took this class and it was one of my favorite classes I took this quarter. Thanks again.

Research Paper Finally Done!!

I finally finished my research paper over the weekend and it feels good to have it done, and I’m sure everyone else feels the same way. I’m glad that I had the outline to go off of because without it I would have been lost. It’s also helpful to have all or most of the research part done before trying to start it.  It seems like every time I write a paper I have trouble writing the outline and intro paragraph. I also say that I am going to start my papers early but I never do, I always procrastinate a lot when I have to write papers so last weekend is when I got most of it done.  Anyways, thought I would write something today.

Thanks Kohl and Paco!

                I’m glad that they got to come back and talk to us again. It is always interesting to hear all the stories they have about things that our going on in their tribe and in Pine Ridge and also in the Native American communities. I liked when they talked about the world ending stuff, it was cool to hear what they think about it. Thanks again guys for making the trip and talking to us.

What we did this week.

Not sure really what to write about this week so ill just talk about what we did in class. On Monday we watched a movie that was about the boarding schools that the Native Americans were forced to go to. Some of the people told stories about their experiences while staying there and all the horrible things they encountered. Some of the things like cutting their hair and making them wear “American” clothes. They also talked about how they were abused physically and sexually. I couldn’t imagine how bad it really was back then and you don’t really understand it in till you hear from people that experienced it. It was a powerful movie that got the point out and it must have been hard for the people that told their stories.

                On Tuesday we talked about what we were going to do for our creative response and worked on our outlines again. I’m still not one hundred percent sure what I’m going to be doing for the project so I have a lot of thinking to do over the weekend. I’m going to do something with art or food.
