Today at the Pomona Museum we learned about indian artifacts and more into the history and culture. Elder Lori Sisquoc taught us how to make baskets, it was something new for me and it was pretty awesome to do something like that. Then Tory Mudd showed us film on stereotypical indians, that they are savages and live the same way as they did before. My responses were that I disagree with the stereotypes. I didn’t like that Hollywood was brainwashing people to believe indians were savages. I liked Pamela Peters talk, I feel that is the type of response that we can encounter in films, prove that we are human and not savages or the stereotypical indian. The forgotten people need to be heard.
