The legacies of racial formation are everywhere in our society, and our common understanding of race and ethnicity is reinforced through what we are exposed to through the media, culture, and institutions around us. An important goal for this class is to make connections between past and present, especially through writing.
For this assignment I want you to connect the experiences of Native Indian populations in America with education, genocide and reservations system at the hands of the U.S. Government to current(ish) event/thing that is relevant and write a 1-2 page reflection about it. Your reflection should briefly (and I mean *briefly*) summarize what you selected and tell us about the thing you are writing about, but most importantly, explain how it connects to the experiences of Native Indian populations at the hands of the US government, and your thoughts and/or reactions to it.
Examples can include (but are not limited to) films, TV shows, art, music, sports, news/headlines, social media trends, memes, podcasts, etc. You will submit your Current Event Reflections here by Sunday at 11:59 PM
