We examined the cultural collision between European-Americans and Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, focusing on the poster on the classroom's rear wall depicting the totem pole in front of the Pioneer Bldg. in Pioneer Square, Seattle. We discussed the cultural style and history of both totem pole and building, then learned about the how the pole (or more accurately its predecessor) came to be where it is.
HW due Friday:
All sections have now received a slim packet of Native American stories, which are to be read by tomorrow.
