Native American History Month - events

As we look ahead to the end of the semester, our last novel for this class (Power by Linda Hogan) explores differences between Native American relationships with the natural world and environmental laws established by the Florida authorities. The story is told through the perspective of a sixteen-year old teenager from the Taiga tribe who feels torn between the rules of these two worlds. With this in mind, I wanted to alert you to a number of interesting events going on before Thanksgiving break that will provide you with more opportunities to explore Native American cultures. As usual, blog posts about any of these events will count as extra credit opportunities (XC given for one entry only).
