Hey! So, this my very first blog, but it is going to be mainly about my English class.
This week we have been learning about the Native Americans, their culture, and their literature. I think that it is very interesting that they are so "in tune" with nature. The earth is the center of their entire way of life, and I feel like our culture now takes the earth and nature for granted and don't appreciate it as much as we should. We tend to destroy the earth instead of honor it like the Native Americans did.
I was also fascinated by the city, Cahokia. I think that it is amazing that there was such a large well functioning city back then. The structures they built all by hand are unbelievable. I seriously can't believe that they were able to build such large and magnificent mounds and buildings with only their hands. That would take so much work and time to build something that great.
The Native Americans have been fun to learn about these past few weeks.
I'm glad you learned some things you did not know and that you liked learning about them. Thanks for the pictures and the excellent reflection. I agree. We aren't connected to the earth much today, and it is too bad.
