Hello Everyone!
I really enjoyed all of your presentations last week, not to mention I learned a lot! I think that incorporating Indian Education in our future classrooms is crucial. This education can break down any barriers that students have due to misunderstandings of the Native American culture. I have often found that people stray away from things that they find unfimiliar. I think the IEFA is an amazing way for people to explore this beautiful culture. This is particularly important in the state of Montana. Due to our diverse population, I think that teachers have a neat opportunity to not only teach about the rich Indian history and traditions, but to also bring "Contemporary Indians" into their classrooms. I would love to have a performer/speaker (like Jack Gladstone) come into my classroom someday to talk firsthand about his/her life and family history. There are just so many interactive classroom things that could be done with this!
See you all in class tomorrow, thanks! Rachael
