that museum was very interesting. i loved it cause it was like a maze and i got lost a couple times but that just made it more fun:) i think the best part of the museum was the gun corner. cause they were very pretty and shiny and the same with the sky dreamers that was very amazing seeing what we stared off with to what we have now. but yeah i had fun. thank you:)
Gene Autry Museum!!!
The museum was such an interesting experience yesterday! I loved all of their artifacts that I saw… from our Native cultures. A big part of that museum was very emotional and yet still very educational… We also had the talent show yesterday! (TOTALLY EMBARRASSING) I can’t believe it. My mom bought me this air guitar T-shirt and I played in an AIR BAND!!! It was great!!! I participated in many acts, trying to entertain the students from Japan. They were a blast to dance with. I really enjoyed Nick’s guitar playing… It was one of my favorite parts. I could believe… man he was awesome. We had a dance party after everyones acts… It was a new experience learning new dance moves from the Japanese. I think they enjoyed learning new moves from us to.
Museums

NBC Universal!!! :D
NBC Universal was so much fun. I had a blast. I especially loved the part when we had lunch and the people that came to speak to us about internships, our careers, and what we wanted to do. I loved listening to all of their back stories and what they wanted to do in 10 years. I also really loved the lunch. It was delicious. I enjoyed the tour and the guy that gave us the tour he was great. I learned of a lot about the little things when It came to filming, because that It is one of my passions!!! The rides in the theme park were definitely a blast. Later, when we got back we had a class based on the movie we watched before. I learned quite a bit about the government… things I had never heard of before. I also really appreciate Scott and all the mentors for their help and support with everything. Their always their when you need them…. ❤
I am in love with this video!!! Alot of information and the lessons I am learning here at Pitzer are about this video of us and the SEVENTH GENERATION!!! I recommended.. and the music is great! It was soo relaxing!!!

this video is part 2 of the 20 minute video about life on the reservation . i really liked this video because it showed and talked about how life on the reservation.:)
i really like how they compare two different groups of people. the people taking the wrong way and the people taking the right road.
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 =)
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.
