Thanksgiving as an educator – Beginning
Thanksgiving Month
Native American Month
I walked on the trial where Tongva people used to live and tried to feel about them.
To know more about the Native American history
A trail that I went where used to be the Tongva tribes
Tongva were the L.A.'s Indigenous people (click for a brief story)
The Land
the Tule Reeds that were used to be the material for building Tongva shelters
The journey made me humble and thankful
Perhaps, I am not be able to feel like an indigenous people
Yet, I am open myself to explore more and more
Thanks that I have the choice to do that I am doing
The indigenous people did not have the choice but evacuate their homes
Thanks that I have my family
The indigenous people might be separated from their kids, parents, relatives
Thanks that I have my voice to tell people stories
The indigenous people had been ignored for decades
Thanks to the Tangva people and all the indigenous people
As an educator, in my opinion,
I have the responsibility to teach my students being humble and thankful
Nothing should be taken for granted.
