We went on a field trip to the The Center Of The Arts to watch a documentary about native americans and people still live like them today. What struck me in the documentary is that when they have a big celebration they really celebrate it BIG! There is dancing and drums and a lot of other things that they celebrate with. It is also loud. What also struck me was what they think creation started out like. They had to have a really big imagination and the world around them to think it through. When I heard if the kids were bad at the boarding schools they would beat them that really surprised me. We also got to look at there art. I really like a basket that had a top so the baskets shape was like an egg. It was blue with gold weaved through it. It also had a flower on the top with leafs. I thought it was pretty and kind of looked like a pineapple. I realized that I didn’t know as much as I thought I did about Native Americans. I also didn’t know that Native Americans live in west Michigan and Grand Rapids. I learned a lot there.

Living on a dollar a day meant to me that we have so much. Four guys went to live in Guatemala for 2 months. They realized that some people could even get a job. I realized that sometimes we think that we don’t have anything we want. Some people don’t even have good jobs or can’t o to school because it is to much. We have it lucky and can go to school and work. We all have a bed, cooking utensils, sink, clean water, and so much more. All the had was a house some with stoves and a kitchen but in some places they didn’t even have a bed.
