Documentary

Watching the documentary, I felt like a lot of what we were hearing and seeing is mostly very repetative because I feel l ike we learned and heard lots of these things. For example, they kept saying that the white people were trying to make the Native's civilized and that they took over their land and that their culture is becoming extinct and they feel they need to keep up with their traditions because it is a dying tradition. They respect animals and the charish them and when they take something from the earth, they put something back in replacement of it. They are very sacred people and I respect them, but a lot of what we're learning is becoming a little too much. I have learned throughout this quarter so far that a lot of the Natives on reservations live poor, live with many diseases and addictions, they cherish the earth and every part of it, etc. Is there anything else to learn about them that we already haven't?
