Native American Documentary

This Tuesday we went to Saugatuck Center for the Arts, and we got to watch a documentary about the Dakota Access Pipeline and how some people are in conflict and do not agree. One reason why they don’t want the Dakota Access Pipeline is because it goes in there water source, where they drink from and in my opinion is that they are right they should not! have the Dakota Access Pipeline. because when the pipeline gets old it can leak oil into the water and really get people sick also it can heart and damage ecosystems into the water. After we got to watch the documentary we got to go into a art gallery and to see native american art one art piece that stuck out to me is a piece that help people that make baskets to take away any extra strips of wood that does not need to be and the price tag was quit the price but I think its worth the price.

Living on one dollar.

Living on one dollar, may seem impossible but many people do it around the world in places that have a high rate of poverty, over 1.1 billion people live off of 1 dollar per day. It kind of makes you think about your life, and how blessed we are to even go to school and have food and our tables and clean fresh water whenever we want, but a lot of people don’t really have that opportunity. I think that video really impacted my point of view in life, and know I think I will look at this situation in a hole new way.
