Renee Roman Nose's Address
On November 21st we had guest speaker in the class. It was motivational speaker, poet and comedian Renee Roman Nose. She colorfully represented het culture. I saw one of her speeches from the Washington University. In that speech she had Native Americans’ outfit that is definitely dragged even more attention to her person. My knowledge about Native culture based only on book such as Carlos Castaneda and Jack London. Unfortunately neither of them was Native; this fact makes those stories even less objective. Details which were mentioned in the class such as scalping the Natives, how they suffered in the reservations and how difficult was to find the justice on those territories. I didn’t grew up around Native culture, so at first I just …show more content…
I like when videos in the class related to topic and helps to understand it, if it has comedy in to in, even better. Renee had in class activity, video and the poem. Combination of those three made her visit even more interacting. Each of the students prefers different learning style. I think our group gained more knowlade from the speech, because Renne used different ways of learning. We had in class activity with five words, the best way to learn for kinesthetic learners. Stand up video on youtube was good for visual learners. Because she covered a few ways to put some information in our heads we were able to get it better. Life examples and motivational speaker background made her speech even more credible. Renees speech was different from the books. At first with background of motivational speaker she has self-confidence. She didn’t give this speech at first time, so it made her speech stronger and more organized. At second speech had nonverbal additions, which you can’t have trough the book or any type of writing. Good example of it Jesse Jackson and Green Eggs and Ham. Jesse presented that tale as a deep and serous speech, but in fact it’s just a story for kids. So fact that she was able to support her speech by nonverbal as intonation, tone, gesture, eye contact made speech even

    Narrator: Overall, many events in American history has shaped Native people as a whole, but individually they all handled it differently. From the first step in a New World, the Colonists changed how the Native people diversified themselves, adapted to an ever-changing world full of disease, horses, and alcohol, how the Natives organized their society, and how they would be able to remain true to their Native roots without adopting European customs. Each of these tasks was a further step for a colonial foothold in Indian America.…

    When in reality it was the Spaniards who were the true savages for treating Native Americans as an evil creature due to their religious views. It was sad to read about how Indians families were torn apart and many choose not to have kids because of this. I was disgusted by how the Spaniards would cut off native women’s breasts and throw their infants to a pack of dogs. The teachings of Popes prepared the ground for the mass Genocide of Native Americans because they taught genocide because anyone who would go against their God would be killed. There are many major statements in this book. One of which is the statement that history books have incorrect information on the conquest of the Americas by the Spaniards. This is important to understand because it shows how young students are being taught wrong information as well as being taught to think that Native Americans are horrible people when the reality was that they were the victims in the situation. Another important statement addressed in the book was how it explained the mistreatment of Native American by the…

    There are two books that are particularly important for students learning about Native Americans to read, Custer Died for Your Sins by Vine Deloria and “All the Real Indians Died Off” and 20 Other Myths about Native Americans by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker. But before even reading the books, its vital to understand who the authors are. What their backgrounds are, who they wrote the book for and why, and arguably the most important: their authority to be writing the books. Without this knowledge, it is impossible to fully understand a book, since an author ingrains pieces of themselves into everything they write.…

    It discusses how the government has overtaken Native Americans from their homelands and placed to reservations. Laws and policies prohibited tribes from practicing religious and ceremonial rituals. It explains that these laws were not revoked until after the American Indian Religious Freedom Act which protected these natives to have the ability to express their religious views freely. Overall, this suffering ended up weakening the spiritual ties and broke apart many native families and their elders. In the end, it was ultimately brought back to modern society by providing learning programs to bring back traditional languages and rehabilitate Native American rituals to future…

    It is important for everyone to grasp the issues that surround minorities within a larger dominant culture, and to look for solutions to problems inherent in that situation. Many native peoples have gotten a “raw deal” and everyone should understand how that happened and what can be done about it. In some cases, the culture and practices of some native peoples were, at least in part, preserved for later generations by anthropologists. Lastly, Native American cultures are not “vanished races” consigned to natural history museums but modern, active, and vibrant groups. Everyone should celebrate the survival and revival of those…

    She first presented on housing sustainability. We went over mortgage basics. This way we were able to learn the basics of what is all in your mortgage and what you need to know when applying for a mortgage. I really loved how she emphasized that we should use our budget as a guide. It really went hand in hand with what Loryn had taught right before. Once we learned the mortgage basics we were taught how the mortgage sustainability worksheet goes. Ellie did a wonderful job at explaining this work sheet, especially for those in the class that had never seen it before. We also were able to go over debt, mortgage information and ratios, and also interest. These were a part of the worksheet, so we just briefly covered these topics as we filled out the work sheet. At the very end of the day Ellie present again. This time was just giving a general review of how the workshop went. She asked what went well, what people like the most throughout the day, and asked if anyone had any addition questions. It was done in a very professional…

    The Our Live exhibit represents contemporary life and identities of American Indians. According to the website of National Museum of the American Indian, “The main section of Our Lives centers on various layers of identity. For Native people, identity--who you are, how you dress, what you think, where you fit in, and how you see yourself in the world--has been shaped by language, place, community membership, social and political consciousness, and customs and beliefs. But Native identity has also been influenced by a legacy of legal policies that have sought to determine who is Indian and who is not. The issue of Native identity continues to resonate today, as Native people across the Americas seek to claim the future on their own terms.” In other words, a significant number of Native Americans attempt to remain their identities; their languages, tradition, culture and custom although the English language, new culture and modern life style of modern Americans influence over their lives. As a result, all of the items that are shown in this exhibit express the view of American Indians about protecting or continuing…
