What did you do in school today?

[Angel]

First class of the new, and 2nd to last term of school. Class started in the ceremonial teepee with a pipe ceremony... sweat lodge in 2 weeks...yeah...this is gonna be a GREAT term!!!

[Kristy]

I ditched class to hang out with the cool kids. We all headed out to the bleachers and smoked cigarettes and talked about how much our parents suck because they make us clean up our room, take out the trash and shit like that. Tomorrow we are going to ditch class again to hang out at the mall to steal cheap jewelery.

Why stop there? Live in a wigwam to get the full experience. Also you can justify killing the white pricks you don't like because they have encroached on your land and killed the buffalo. There is nothing better than feeling smug around a good fire knowing that the white man's world is failing and they just might end up killing themselves with their technology. Oh the great grandmother earth has her way of taking care of things and embracing those who embrace her.

I hung out with Kristy and the other kids. Since I'm the only one old enough to drive I'm gonna take the chicks to the mall tomorrow. I'll probably just hang out in the arcade while they raid Claire's.

Cultural camps are only held in summer. If I didn't have to work to survive I would've been all over that!!!

60% of our medications come from indigenous knowledge. So...by learning whic plants do what, I can bypass big pharma and all their chemicals and go straight to the source.

The only classes that have taught me anything I didn't know already are the indigenous ones. They're also the most valuable out of all the $ for this stupid piece of paper called a degree.

I dropped off my 8th grader at the track for cross-country practice...

I think you should get with David Lee Roth and do that Amazon thing again.

I skipped school and drove 300 miles to see The Police when they were on their Ghost and the Machine Tour. The day in school would have long been forgotten. I will remember the concert for the rest of my life. I had my priorities straight.

Our cross country coach would make us run down this gravel road with about three inches of loose gravel on top. He knew what he was doing. Once you got on solid ground where you feet didn't slip it was easy. We lived at high altitude so when we would race against schools at lower elevations we had the advantage.

I'm at least 1/4 Cherokee but I never got this "our land" or "your land" bullshit. If one group of "indigenous people" decided they wanted anything, including land from another group of "indigenous people" they just killed them and took it. And they damn sure didn't care how they did it. The killing of the buffalo for their hides and leaving the meat to rot was shitty but taking land by force was done for thousands of years before the white man ever made his way to "the new world".
BTW The white man wasn't the only one killing indigenous people and taking their land. The Spaniards wiped several varieties of native people off the face of the earth in the southern part of North America. The Japanese killed thousands of natives on pacific islands during WWII and took their land before the allies killed them.

I miss being an undergraduate, and I'd happily go back and do it again if I could have my time over.....

Just curious, what class is that for?

I'd be happy to do my time in the service over again too. Going to school in the service wasn't bad and I got to do the spring break thing on a regular basis after I graduated. Overseas I only had to spend one day on duty every four days. In between I could party my ass off. If I did have the time over I would stay in and party my ass off for another 27 years. I would have retired with full pay three years ago.

It's an Indigenous Social Work Elective. Introduction to Traditional Self-healing. Taking it in conjunction with "Human growth and development from Traditional Teachings" elective. Taught in the oral tradition by Elders. Fascinating!!!
