Dance
yesterday Dalia Nunez, a professional dancer, showed us the basic/core moves of salsa dancing. It was really interesting, I had a lot of fun. Some of the students in our program help to perpetuate their community through various types of cultural dance…we have students in the program who Hula dance, Jingle Dress dance, and Bird Dance. Through their various forms of dancing they are helping to keep their/our culture alive! I am both blessed and honored to be working with such a diverse group of Native youth =)
Another dat at The Big P
Another day in The Native Pipeline Program, yesterday we got to sleep in for a longer time and that was so good and relaxing. We had a mixed up schedule but it was still fun we learned about the Hawaiian culture. We also learned how to make Indian Fried Bread that was very delicious and it just makes me feel like my grandmas home. Then, we went to go to do some salsa dancing and yoga which is very tiring and mind-relaxing. I also have to say I drew some drawings that took a bit of time but it was worth it because i know i put all my time and effort into it.
Today we went for a walk to the market and i got to see a lot of the area and the amazing sites they have. While we were walking around i seen a lot of things: movies, stores, restaurants, salons, banks, and music shops. I was very interested in the music shop and i went to check it out there was all kinds of stuff in there i liked it a lot. Great music of all kinds i thought it was very cool. I also seen flowers everywhere and i decided to pick some and i got a rose and it smelled beautiful i think i might want to be botanist.♥
The Connection…
Choices are made constantly throughout our lives. Some believe that every choice you make can influence your life in different ways. I believe that no matter what choices we make we always end up where we were supposed to be. It is because we are all connected……. Connected to our path, to each other, it is the circle of life which guides us and gives us direction as we travel the universe and reach our destiny.

Traditions, Customs, and Beliefs
yesterday we had the parents of 2 of our students come in and talk to us about Hawaiian culture. As an anthropologist, I enjoy learning about other cultures. I loved the lecture about Hawaiian culture because it highlighted cross cultural differences and similarities between Hawaiian and Native American cultures. Although these cultures are in different locations/areas of the world, we share the same traditions, customs and beliefs. For instance, in Native American culture, Elders are highly respected they are the heart of our community, it is the same in Hawaiian culture. This just goes to show that although we may be isolated from each other in terms of location we are all still one in the same, for we are all connected through our traditions, customs and beliefs. Thank you for your lecture Mr Chang! ❤
