Review: Native American Traditions

(Photo found on Wikipedia about Mourning Dove)

I have always loved studying Native American Traditions because I am Native American myself. I enjoy learning about the culture and I also enjoy learning about the art forms from the artists. I have made my own dream catcher and have it hanging in my room at my mother's house. I am also very strongly attached to the lives of Native Americans and it was one of my favorite subjects to study within my history classes.

 I appreciate the opportunity to see Native American art and to experience the culture in this class. I appreciated watching the video about the Ledger art and learning more about how the Native American's recorded stories.

Extra Credit Reading: How Bluebird and Coyote Got Their Colors

Image
(Image found on Wikimedia ) I enjoyed reading this story so much I found it interesting that the coyote's ignorance and jealousy got the better of him. There is a great moral lesson in this story that we should not be quick to be jealous of others and we should also be careful about how ignorant we can become if we do get jealous of others things. I wish I would have read this story earlier in the semester as it would have given me a lot more ideas for stories. overall I have enjoyed this experience and I love bluebirds.  bibliography: How Bluebird and Coyote Got Their Colors by Kathrine Berry Judson

Week 7 Story: Queer Worlds

         This story is now on my portfolio       Once upon a time, there were two drag queens who were named Izanagi and Izanami. These queens longed to create a world that they could live in. They decided that they would build a staircase that would allow them to travel to the worlds from the drag queen spirit realm. Now the queens were so bored as they had no one to entertain, so they created a substance for them to produce great things from. This substance was a glittery rainbow-colored foam that they would use to create a wide array of queer things. The two queens came down the large glitter staircase that they had made and began their creation of the worlds. “Hunty this world is such a drag! Why don’t we create another queen?” one of the queens said. “Don’t you start telling me what to do you, dirty queen! We will create them, but we have to create a place for them to become creative in their drag.” The other replied.  So t...

Reading A Notes: Qalagánguasê, Who Passed to the Land of Ghosts

      (Photo found at Pixabay )       This story was very interesting for me to read as I truly enjoy a good ghost story. This story has inspired me to possibly write a story about a transgender male to female, who longs to become a woman but is under a curse that ghosts of his ancestors put on him. If the curse could be broken it would be from true loves kiss which is where my imagination is leading me. I feel like the boy could be haunted by the ghosts of his ancestors and possibly that he would meet a boy who would understand the transwoman's need to become a woman and would fall in love with him anyway. This would eventually lead to true love's kiss to be shared but possibly with a twist ending. we will see where my thoughts take me when it comes to this story. I may also incoporate some of my reading from the wednesday reading. bibliography: Qalagánguasê, Who Passed to the Land of Ghosts
