 When i first walked into the  dorm, I knew  I was safe and I was going to have a strong relationship  with everyone i met here in the pipeline program.The experience  at the Native pipeline program  was really  helpful with family support, love, sharing each others cultures, and just getting to know each others personal history.This experience made us more connected with one another . I learned a lot about  different educational workshops  also that included medical resources, diabetes issues, dancing routines with each other, which was really awesome to expirence. The program had a lot of wonderful activities and culture traditional teachings. The most thing that really was important to me was the support from all  the mentors, the students , and  Gal  for giving the time to help me in any way she can . I also want to thank scott for all his help for making this happen for us to be here and the others who i do not know. The knowledge i have from this program and  the support from everyone in the program . I will take it with me and share the knowledge , family support, with others who are indeed for help and love . I also just want to cherish the people in this program for the kindness and love  for one another and  the support that they need in life to keep moving forward. Last night was really special  because of the sweat I had with the students and some of the mentors.  It awakend me and gave me more strength to move forward.

The las two day were awesome and fun to connect more with each other. The most important thing is sharing each others thoughts,traditions,cuture.

This Native pipeline program is so unqiue and amzazing to expiernce and knowledge the culture, traditional ways, family support, love for one another .This program helps alot of Native Americans with more knowledge, of tradtional ways and of there culture. I am proudly to say that  i enjoy the pipeline program and its  also its like a family communtity .

the last days here are going to be fun and strong  expirences.

when i first heard that we were going to a farmers market. I thought  to my self, cool i get see alot of vegetables and old products. Then it turn out to be unique to see all of  us  together having fun. The last couple of days were awesome;  we did alot of interaction  with each other and got to know more about one another. These days that i have been here at the pipeline program taught me how to be more discipline and the mentors, students , are so amazing to interact with and share each others culture.The last week here is going to be strong  and were all going to unite with each other in awesome way .I have came along way for reason and i just wanna sayto the mentors, students , staff , any one to  keep moving forward and keep your head up .

The issues on my  community faced today cause poverty, pain ,anger, lack of knowlegde of there culutre and traditional ways. These issues are not enough support from  one another, like family and around the community. Another problem would be the lack of social suport and parenting for younger Native youth. My passion is to create a strong united community with the knowledge of there culture and traditional ways. This will lead to a safe community  and communtication with one another. Also this helps provide programs like culture centers, schools, summer programs,more jobs, physical active  with Native youth, adults.

The first day at Western was awesome I learned about diabetes and healthy issues. I also learned about animation about animals, characters, and anatomy an  aniimation characters. The relationship with doctors  and patients should be based in a  good understanding  with one another. Some ways of doing that  would be asking question about thier culture and backgrounds. The doctor should ask the patients if they take any medication our have any other health issues.Doctors also need to be generous,kind, understading of the person.
