Museum


I think the trip to the Eiteljorg was beneficial to us in college. It gave us another outlook on home through someone else eyes. I honestly did not know what it was. It is sad because I live here and I always pass it. I always wanted to know what it was. The experience was better than what I excepted. The picture and the artifacts that were at the museum were really good. I got to see the tools that they use to use. I really appreciated reading about the things that I did not know what they were about. I walked in there with an open mind on what I was coming in their for. I was trying to connect the theme home. This was the Native Americans home but it was taking away from them. I really liked the paintings a lot! The painting felt like you were really their. You can get an idea of how the Native Americans felt when certain things were happening, The picture looked so real about when the new settler that come in. The artist really did a good job of capturing events that happen. It would be beneficial for citizens to come and explore. The Native American were really into animism as their religion. Each tribe about Native Americans had their own way of technology. But there had spears that were sharp for killing animals. I really liked the activity of building a mini tee pee. It shows how difficult to it was to build a big version of a tee pee.  It really opened my view on how they lived. This was a good experience of life other than what we know. Especially in Indians we still have reminders certain name remain the same like the white river.  I feel like this should be a field trip for all kinds of students from elementary to college students.

  1. The paintings were beautiful! I didn't really get to stay and look closely at them but they were a great example of what Native Americans lives were like. It's amazing how different perspectives are from each other. Like if you look at how we dipict Native Americans in film and compared that to how they are dipicted in art is just so interesing.

  2. I can relate when you said you passed the museum and you never knew what it was. There are so many things I see on my drive to school that I don't know what they are but I'm curious to figure out what they are.
