Two Events - Adam, SNAGS-BioAIMS Dinner, ASB EDUC96 Class


Event 1: SNAGS - BioAIMS Frybread Dinner

I went to the SNAGS - BioAIMS Frybread Dinner at the Native American Cultural Center on Friday, March 8, 2019, and it was a great way for me to connect with current Native grad students and network and all of that fun stuff. I helped shape some of the frybread there, and I was asked to give a food/water blessing too, so I got to do that. It seemed like really fancy ingredients like it was delicious gourmet à-la-mode c’est la croix on pointe du jour or whichever they call it but was good nonetheless. I rated it a 10/10 on Yelp. It was a very nice and wholesome experience




Event 2: Alternative Spring Break Class EDUC96

Throughout the quarter, I have been involved with Alternative Spring Break, which is a community service program that runs through Spring Break, and I co-lead our ASB trip with Gracie Young (Griffin's sister for those who know him), and we do a variety of activities with our 10 students, such as a Kahoot we did, talking with people actively engaged in digital language revitalization, learning the Cherokee language, and dedicating most of our time creating paper prototypes of Cherokee language learning apps that the students will demo at New Kituwah Academy and Cherokee Central Schools on the Eastern Band of Cherokee Reservation next week. Our students have made a lot of progress on the prototypes, and they will be able to use the skills learned and utilized in class for whatever major they decide to do. (You shouldve signed up for our ASB it was LTE, plus we had 波霸奶茶 on the last day)
