I learned a lot about Native Americans on Wednesday. I knew that they had hard times, but I never knew the harsh things they had to go through. I can't believe that the whites put Indian children into what was basiclly a work camp and took their identity. It must have been so sad to be taken away from home and live in such hard living conditions. I also learned how special a Indian Pow Wow was to the Native Americans. The music, traditions, and dance are very similar to how it was many years ago. In PE, an activity idea is to have the students learn and preform an Indian dance. Another idea is to have the students play traditional Indian games that the Native Americans partake in.

I agree with you that Indian life in the past was hard, life for everyone at that time was difficult however. The boarding school system was not fair but I am happy that they have retained thier culture and heratige despite it all.
