one of my highlights was definitely the Mexica flower wars in indigenous games, I had a lot of fun practicing they’re selfdefense ways. me personally I really love selfdefense training, and id love to make fighting a career for myself.

Had a great time with Hector Pacheco playing  the flower game. We built a lot of the chemistry as a group today with the game. I also got chance to shoot on a camera for a bit with Gena I was very excited. The discussion with Dr. Adrian Pantoja, it was very relatable and interactive it sparked a great conversation love to take that class again. Yesterday was beautiful the naming ceremony was beautiful never experienced  anything like it. I am very thank full.

 

 

Today we played Mexica Flower Wars and it was fun. The thing that i liked about it is that we were all communicating and we were like community by doing teamwork to protect the 2 staffs. I was chosen to protect the staff and had responsibilities to help my teammates. And today we talked about problems in our environment and mine was that on the Navajo Reservation, some families and people have no piped water and they have to haul water from they’re windmill or go far away. and the government and the Navajo people are working together to give water to the people who don’t have water. They both are the same because they have to do teamwork to deliver water to the navajo’s who don’t have water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ways that immigration can affect the community can be a good effect ,because we just need to accept the thought of bringing in new people into our lives or community. the reason why is because outsiders can can help make our lives better. Another effect can be the help of creating long lasting food or how to treat the soil that we use better so that we can reuse it. As we continue to live in this nation immigration is a solution because the government doesn’t make most of the country the people do. So if we don’t allow people in then we can’t continue as a nation.

Today was an interesting but slow day. I really liked the “flower wars” game, iv never played it or even heard of it before. The game took a lot of communication, looking out for other people, and strategy. Some of these techniques we used in the “flower wars” could help us with the environmental and indigenous rights issues , by communicating with other people get more people involved with water rights, land, food sovereignty, and air quality.

The highlight of the day was a class that called “US Immigration Policy Under Trump” that was led by Professor Adrian Pantoja. He discussed the importance of decolonizing the mental and physical barriers that have been implemented into our mentality. i deeply appreciate what he represents and the knowledge that he shared with everyone. It’s now up to us to educate and implement the mentality of no division to our communities and appreciate all other ethnicities and cultures. 

Today I learned how to play a game called Mexica Flower Wars .The idea of the game was to work as a team to protect the person holding the staff.The game was a very fun way to communicate and learn about each other.Earlier today we had to write what we would put in a college essay.I had a hard time with this because one of the topics was hobbies and talents.Overall today was good I  guess.Yesterday was more challenging because we were outside for more than 6 hours.We also got to make soapstone necklaces that took a long time to carve.

Ooooooooooooook let me tel you about what happen yesterday. Yesterday we learned mayan math and how to wright in their language. Then after that, we were gladly invited to a naming cermony  were we got to see other natives get their first native names and their second native names. all last but not least we were able to paly a game today witch was called mixica flower wars. witch is the same as capture the flag.

Communities can help with problems that people have people work all together. If a community went together to stop a problem it will be easier than someone solving a problem all by themselves. Communication is very important in almost everything that’s affecting communities.
