Today is our lst day blogging….SAD.

anyways…yesterday was a very fun day(: for me .  We worked on our books all day and they all look really nice.  afterwards me and Luna met up with our Italian firends.  They invited her and I to their DISCO PARTY:D it wasn’t disco…but it was a party!! they were all very nice and most of the dudes were dressed up as girls…opposite sex night??  Luna and I danced our little hearts out and we were kinda famous there:) they would randomly take pictures of us dancing which was kinda weird buuuuut its cool:p  After the dance we talked to them more about their culture and we found out a little about Italy.  Flavio, Vincenzo< and Marco were their names:) I enjoyed their company..

What i learned from this experience was not to judge anybody by the way they look.  When we first got here we said “Italians are rude people.”  that was a stereotype and now i kno they are actually really fun people(:  I like them!

Yesterday was an interesting day…

First we went to Western University and it was our last day there.  We went into a big room filled with human cadavers.  I thought i would be okay with it but i kind of got creeped out.  It was still very interesting learning more about the human body and actually getting to see it. 

After that we came back to campus and i worked out…

THEN…we had a speaker come and she told us stories and had us create our own stories.  It was really fun listening to other peoples stories because they were all very creative.

During freetime Luna, Brittany, Shane and I went to the vending machines and had an international party.  We met three Italian guys and they were very nice😉 Hope fully we meet more international students.

The day started out with us going to Pechanga.  We first went to the cultural center and learned a little about their land.  To me the most interesting part of Pechange was the Great Oak.  It felt like a shelter and it was way bigger then i thought it would be.  We also went into a model sweat which was really interesting because it was built into a hill.  We saw the huts that they used to live in wayyyyy back in the day. 

Later that day we went to Dr. Rega’s house for a pool party.  Her house was fun and we all had fun swimming.  I had a gun war with Fabian but he just got massacred.  Poor kid. >.<

Dr. Rega made yummy food for us and she was a great host.  i hoped we can go visit her again in the future.  Her son was making us snow cone shots and it was really cute.  Except he told me andna that we couln’t have 3 rounds and we had to come back later if we wanted more…guess he didn’t want us to get a sugar rush??

Yesterday was a really great day and I am going to miss everyone when we have to leave each other:/

I think we were making a game plan..

Yesterday was a very long day.

In the morning we got ambushed with the task of gardening again…

After that we had free time:D thennnnnn we went to lunch…then had more free time.

We went to LA to see a park and we learned about so many different plans..i cant even remember the names.  We sang together and ate in the sand with some ants.  On the way home Ashley won 4 Trey Songs tickets but lost them when Micah handed her the phone carelessly and accidentally hung up. SAD DAY!  Guess it wasn’t meant to be.

I had no idea that there were so many kinds of sage.  My tribe, like most tribes, also uses sage to cleanse.

We haven’t blogged in a while so i haven’t got to check my facebook in a while…just bein truthful. These past 3 days have been pretty fun.  We went to the garden and it felt really good to see the big difference that we made when we were all working together. 

We also went to the farmers market and it was REALLY hot…well to me it was.  We also got to meet Redcloud and the concert was really fun . In the past week i have gotten really close to the girls and i don’t want to leave them in a week:(

Last night we watched a movie about alcatraz and even though i already watched it a few times i wanted to see how the others reacted to it.  The movie opens your eyes to what happened between the government and us Natives.  I like to see people learn about their culture 🙂  Karaoke was also very fun(:

I wanted to get something that had a significant meaning to me..not something that i came up with in ten minutes:)

Drake Walking towards us!!

Every community is in need of at least a little improvement.  This includes my community as well.  I will be attending the University of Redlands this fall and throught the next four years i will be working on my degreee in business.  With the loving support of my community, family, and friends i know i will be able to finish and make a difference in the community.  I will be able to make new organizations for those in need and help the businesses that are struggling.  I will also be able to open up my own business and help the community throught that.  The plan i have in mind is to give back to my community that has been there for me my whole life.

What is the ideal physician relationship for you?

The ideal relationship for me is for there to be a connection.  You have to be able to trust the person that is taking care of you and treating you for any sickness.  I would have to comfortably trust them with my life because that is basically what they are in charge of.

Good and bad experiences your family has had with the medical field.

There has not really been any bad experiences other then the sicknesses that could not be helped in my family.  The doctors that have worked with my family have always been very considerate and caring.

What cultural information should doctors know about their patients?

Before anything, doctors should know the background of the patient.l Not only where they come from but also the medical history behind the family.  Some cultures are more prone to certain diseases and sicknesses just because of the way they evolved. 

What questions should doctors ask about Native culture and health?

Many Native families have diabetes in their family.  This is very important for doctors to ask about because there is a very high chance that the patient could also have the diabetes.  Doctors should ask about heart problems and any other kind of disease.
