"Little War on the Prairie"

The podcast of the Lakota Indians was very compelling in my eyes. I have never heard of this event and I am glad my eyes have been opened to it because now I have learned about something that is very significant and important to so many and it makes me feel more knowledgeable and understanding. By studying the Pine Ridge I have gained insight for this story in many ways. Especially in Native American culture in general. Unfortunately I did not learn enough about Native Americans in my previous school years and that was something that I always had unanswered questions about. By studying the Pine Ridge I learned many traditions and ways of life practiced by the Native Americans and this helped me while listening to this podcast. Some similar aspects I noticed was their overall emotion towards events that involved their people in a negative way. I feel as if it really effected them, past or present. They both seemed to be very passionate about their people and what they go through. A difference that really stood out to me was the overall time period. Although this was an obvious difference, it was something that really stood out to me. The present day Pine Ridge people just seemed to have a different look/way about them. There are so many things I can take out of listening to this podcast and incorporate into our group "Living Newspaper" project. For example, all the different aspects of the Pine Ridge and Lakota people is something we could use in our project and we could use several examples/stories to provide evidence and insight.
